I'm looking for some help identifying this bow. I'm interested in the era, manufacturer, and whatever other info can be provided. This was my grandfathers bow and he was not known for being a spendy fella so I don't expect it to have much monetary value, however, the bow is of incredible sentimental value AND I hope to hunt w/ this bow so I'm trying to gleam as much info as possible. The frontside is olive drab glass and backside is turquoise glass. Written on the side is 'CAT. #266' and and etched into the wood is the 'L 62' for length and 'WT 50' for poundage.
Thanks in advance!

It kinda looks like an Indian archery to me. Maybe a senneca?
I was thinking Indian Archery as well.
It looks like the Indian I have except for the colors are different. Same design. I dont know anything more about it though...Roy
Guys thanks for the leads! I looked at some Indian Archery bows on **** and this bow appears to be indian archery....the colors, riser, handwritten info 'CAT 266' and the etched weight and length appear to be typical of the older indian archery bows. Thanks for sending me in the right direction. I'll let y'all know how it ferrets out.

Catalog #266 would be the "Warrior" model by Indian Industries.
Thanks George!
