It's a Ben Pearson and I think it's a pinto...Pretty cool looking bow....bowdoc

Looks like a Pearson to me..

Pearson

Except in the Palamino picture there are laminates in the riser at 90 degrees on the back and belly if you look closely at the little picture.

Really cool old bow, I don't care who made it , I just wish I had it!
John

another for pearson

Wow how coolis that ...sweet! Marco  

Looks like an Addock before he discovered carbon

Printing looks identical to the printing on a couple older Pearsons I own.  I'd vote for Ben.

If Van says it's a Pearson, it's a Pearson.    
Looking at the pics in the link backs up what he said.

Killdeer  

A longhair Dachsund.  

Now that the popular vote says Ben was the manufacture....and we can all agree on that right? Looks like Ben wins....but lets add a little twist to Lon's new found bow should we ? Lets ask this...how many of us would buy a new model bow at new model prices looking just like that Ben bow does...now I think it's a cool looking bow without a dout and they do shoot great...but to buy a new model looking just like that for lets just say around 1,000.00....not me... how about you ??? bowdoc

...and if it's an Adcock you ordered, you will wait 5 years.    

My ititial impression when I saw the bow was "that's gotta be from the 60's"...and "the bowyer must be an old man with a ponytail smoking weed."  Yep,  a "hippy bow."  

Pearson!  No doubt!  I've had several of them in my collection over the years.

Hey I ai'nt got no ponytail !!!!!!!!!!! bowdoc

Just curious, What is the value of a Pearson Pinto in decent shape? A friend of mine just sent one home with me last night to tune it as he was having trouble with arrow flight, I thought it was a great shooter and he just needs to match it up with the correct arrows. The bow is 55#@28". If given the opportunity to buy it, I'd like to be able to pay him a fair price. Thanks, any replies would be appreciated.

A Pinto made for Mongomery Wards would explain the serial number.

I'd never bet for a long haired dachshound. I like 'em a little bigger and closer to prototype.
Long haireed, eh.
Hippy dog.
