I recently inheirited my Dad's '59 0r '60 (I think)Ben Pearson Palomino. This bow has been in storage, warm and dry for nearly 50 years. Seems to be in fair condition, I haven't really cleaned it well yet, just soap and water. I could use some help in nailing down it's identity more exactly. The Archery Archives says the '59 was 5'9" and had green glass. They also say the '60 was 5'8" with white glass. This is 5'9" with white glass. Could it be a "tweener"?
Take a look...............

I'm a total newbie, I'll have to learn EVERYTHING! But I'm sure looking forward to it. This little sweetie has got to drop a moose for me. Take any help I can get, thanks.
