I am really not up on broadhead ID's. Can anyone Identify the old head I just purchased with a few razorheads on the big site? I couldn't resist in case it was a rare gem. Item number is: 161032107251
-
Shane looks to be a Case Korrek 5/16" deep slot made in 1939 by Roy Case 0f Racine Wisconsin, its not real rare but a neat old piece of archery history anyway.
-
Thank you Ron. Would be neat to place on an arrow for display with Grumley after cleaning up.
-
I agree you could find a vintage arrow in decent shape and it would look great with a Grumley.
-
Wish we had more posts about broadheads. Many collectors talk and post about bows, but broadhead postings are limited. Would love to see some rare heads on here. I know that in my home state of VT one company in highgate put out a head thats now on the rare list. Those are the old Rover heads. I wouldn't know one if it slapped me in the face. I bet there are some around in boxes though.
-
Either of these two, especially the lower one, would look great with your Grumley

Must be your lucky day, just listed on the big auction site 130914977797

Shane the second head in my post is an "Airplane Zwickey". A very famous head made for Bear it was the first head with an auxiliary blade that Bear sold.

Celebrating Fred's new head.

Thank you very much Bjorn. Let me know if you ever come across one for sale. I love that picture also. Where can I get my hands on one of those?
-
The "Airplane" Zwickey was not made for Bear. Bear made the bleeder blade and slotted the Zwickeys.
Dave....you said the PlyFlex on the right was available for trade, the bottom right or top right? I know which one and you do also, but not many others will know.
-
Last one that I saw on the auction site was 2 G's that is a pretty rare head. The middle head in the second picture has my interest though, anyone know who made it? Or when? It would work for large fish and shark...
-
Lucas;
If you are referring to the tall head, top middle, with cable, it is like many fishpoints- probably homemade.
I have one with the same function but made of stainless. That makes me think it was for salt water. Possibly for a harpoon and not a bow?
-
Yes Ron, that's the one. I have a small collection of fishing points, the plyflex and the Ben Pearson deep sea harpoon are probably the holy grail of fishing heads, but I am always on the lookout for something more in my price range. What do you think the head is that was used to make Dave's head?
-
Glad to see the broadhead topic bringing some posts. Great learning experience.
-
Sorry Ron, you were referencing the broadhead I was referring to but it is in the first picture.
-
Shane, Bear had a pic that they used as an advertising piece. I wanted something better so a local artist did a painting of the scene for me using the pic as a guideline.
Left to right: Hugh Rich, KK Knickerbocker, Bob Morley and Fred. Nubbie Pate was on that trip too, and since he is not in the pic I imagine he was behind the camera.
As I recall Hugh killed an Antelope on the trip and became the first person to take an animal with a replaceable blade broadhead, the animal in the pic is of course not an Antelope, so it must be Morley's Deer shot at 75 yds. I figured that was worth a painting!
-
It sure was worth a painting! Thats a nice piece you have.
-
Here's one that's kinda rare, and one not so much

I know that you collector are going to find this one, so I figure I would ask what it is, and if it is worthy of a collection piece. Was found in the state I love to hunt. Ohio. Here is is item number 290923709388
-
That is a modified Fleetwood Deerslayer. Pretty common head. MAde in Denver.
-
Thanks Ron
-
Took a chance on another broadhead on a microfilte arrow. Any ideas?
Big site number 181161952833
-
Thats the one Dave. Has a microflite #3 arrow. Would love to know the history on those arrows. Can't seem to find much on the web.
-
Here's an interesting thread on Micro Flight arrows. Hope this helps.

There's a few more in the archives.
-
Thank you Rich
-
Getting back to the picture. Fred wearing converse high top tennis shoes?
-
Yup. Have a picture or two with that. Sure they were not pf flyers? Lol
-
Fred didn't wear Chuck Taylors, he wore the ancestors of PF Flyers, these were for hunters in 1931 -

In 2013, the closest you will come to these are:
PF Flyers Sneakers Center Hi Sandlot ML1001SL Black Leather
Much better than Chucks for that old timey stalking.

Those old ads are a riot! :scared:
Thanks Tony!

Hey, I guess I wasn't far off. PF Flyers were bought out by New Balance which is the company that my wife just started with. It was in the history of the company test she had to take. Learn something new every day. ;o)Love the old ads
