Hey guys. I was watching and yes I bid on this Grizzly bow on Ebay. No, I did not get it.....
I hope it is OK to post this ebay address but I wanted you to see the bow!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=300066793311&rd=1&rd=1
Can anyone tell me what year this Grizzly is?
I am guessing 1958 to 1960. This sure was a pretty bow. I love that green and orange glass combo. I really liked that it was a 62" bow
Well I will be watching ebay more now to see if I can find another one. I want to get one of these or a 57-58 Kodiak Special. If you hear of a nice one let me know! What's on your wish list?
Regards, Bill

It is a 59 or 60...someone with experience of serial numbers will chime in with an exact year, maybe.
The Grizzly is a real nice bow...I have a couple from the pre-60's.
Great info here --

Thanks bjk. I know that sight and it is a great one forsure. I was thinking 59 was very possible on that Griz because of that orange glass. I love that glass from seeing it on the ever valuable 59 Kodiak.

The woods finger it for the ones listed in the 59-60 catalog.
I have to see which I have at home...I love the old Bears...current fav is a 63 dogleg...

After your post I visited fredbear online.... I really like that site. I had forgot that you could search other bows besides the ever revered Kodiaks. I loved that Griz and figured I could get a bargin because most guys want the Kodiaks.... Well $293 was a lot more that I figured it should sell for. Heck, you can get a 57 Kodiak at almost half that sometimes. After seeing that 59-60 Griz, I think it was one of bears best looking bows (in that style/era).

Believe 1960, 60's had fiberglass tip overlays, 59's, like the one I have, had paper micarta overlays.

BillW check this site out for help with your bow. I also have a Bear Grizzly from Grayling and I love the way it shoots. Look here for more info:

I looked and looked at that one but the price went too high; haven't seen one as nice as that one loooong time.

I too am looking for the same era Bear bows, so looks like there is some competition out there. I sold a relly nice '57 last summer, and I am still kicking myself for it. Oh well, the hunt is the funnest part.

Well I am going to keep my eye out, I placed a want ad here to see what I can find. I would rather buy from a TG member than eBay anyhow.

I just bought a 1959 Grizzly and I have my eye on a 1957 Kodiak. Man this is addictive. I love these old Bears more than any custom bow I have owned.
Good luck in your searches.

I have a Grizzly, 62'' 45#, green and orange. Always wondered about the age. Didn't know where to look for the info. Thanks for the help. It looks just like the bow in the picture. I believe it is a '60 because of the tips. Thanks again.

I have a 58" Kodiak Special, 70" 46@28 that is in excellent shape, still shoots real well.
