Just ordered these today from RMS! I'm really excited. The first is a 54" Shakespeare Super Necedah #45 and the second is a Damon Howatt Hi-speed #50. If anyone knows roughly when these were made I really like to know.

The Shakesphere maybe 1968 to 1971.
Thanks Charlie. Once I get them hopefully I can use the serial numbers to do a little more research.
Nice pick on the Shakespeare not a whole bunch of those with that nice wood in the riser. And it's hard to go wrong with any Howatt bow. Don't know much about dating either one.
My thoughts exactly Josh. I saw it and had to have it. Hopefully someone that does will chime in soon.
