    Hey Everybody,

    Picked these two little beauties up last year after shooting a bit of target archery. Purchased them sight unseen, and don't know much about them, other than the smaller green bow is a "60 and has #25 stamped on it, so its a 25 pounder. The old leather wrap looks to be original, and the wood and leather is just beautiful. Anyone have any idea what brands they might be, or a ballpark of what theyre worth?
    Thanks, and here's some pics:

    Nice bows. I love good old recurves. My dad had a really nice one that we had a lot of good times shooting growing up. It got wet when they were remodeling their house and warped. This makes me want to get another one.

    If you plan on shooting them I'd look for any cracks and buy new strings!
    those are 35+ years old now and you dont want them to blow up on you.
    what did you pay for them? $60 for the pair?
