Anyone have idea what these may be worth? Darton recurve,limbs wood and glass? looks yellow in color and says 62" 26#T. 2nd bow is a Bear Kodiac Special, says BEAR-Glass powered, Wood and green glass, has the numbers 13P24 69" 36# in gold script. Last, is a wood/glass American Archery Co [Clarendon Hills ILL] box it has the initials/markings WSNL 68" 55 28#. Any help is appreciated.

Might have better luck on the traditional forum. I'm sure you'd get what they're worth on Ebay. If the Bear is some collector edition the price will go up soon enough. Lots of Bear collectors out there but also lots of Bears:) I don't think the Darton and American Archery would be very collectable but I'm not sure.

set up at the Perani/IMA Flint gun show next weekend [9-10 July]. If I can post some pics of the Darton I will. Im open to offers on the Darton. The Darton and Bear both had strings, and I strung them [didnt shoot them] last night, and wiped them down to clean the dust off. Thanks for the help. I also have parts I found too, sights, old broadheads, arrows, quivers, and all that will be there for the picking too. Looks like Ill need to grab some extra tables at the show.

oh you don't want those old junkers , send them to me.
how valuble are they?
depends so much on condition and how much the buyer wants them that its hard to say. their all really nice bows and you should consider using them instead of getting rid of them.

I decided to keep the Bear and shoot it. Sentimental I guess, as a youngster we used to drive by the old Bear facility in Grayling. I remember it like yesterday [more like 30 years ago]. I will just sell off all the other stuff. Also found 3 compounds too, an AMF [I thought they just did bowling stuff], an early PSE, and the 3rd I think is a Bear maybe. Thanks Rich

great choice, you may just really enjoy some squirrel hutning with that bear too.
