Any idea who might have made them?  Anybody know what that stamp on head weigh?  Obviously
not meant to be hunting arrows with head stamped on like that

Looks like one of the old "Box Arrows" sold in the ept & Hardware stores. Usualy about a 40-45# spine 4 fletching & a stamped field point. Made mostly for target & field archery.

They shot pretty dang good out of the old solid glass bows that I had as a kid!!!!!  :thumbsup:

Box arrows is right as I recollect.  Way back, there was a whole lot less fuss over perfect tuning.  Sure, there was some tuning done, mostly with the bow.  If it flew right, bam, it's a good'n.

Look like some kid arrows with the crimped-on points. These guys are right, though.

I used to get arrows like that. Three for $0.99 back in the late sixties/early seventies.
