Found a good pile

#1 Post by Crazynate »

A gentleman contacted me through a friend that knew I was a collector of Bear items. He had all this stuff that he wanted sell to go to a good home. I have found good deals before but never in such a large amount. Definitely don't give up hope if your into this stuff. It is out there and it will pop up whenever you don't expect it to. Lots of history here. 2 of these quivers were made in Detroit at Bear. One of them is a very rare quiver to come across. I used up all my luck with this find.

Thanks guys. There are 6 Vintage Bear bows. The boxes are packed full of old bear arrows and razorheads and 2 boxes you can't see are packed full of Bear collectibles. The gentlemans dad was an avid collector for a long time. The sons had no interest in any of it.
