Well here it is, The holey grail of vintage bows. Here is a nice Bear Grumley bow from the 1940s. there are no cracks,splits or checks in the wood. original leather handle. overall the bow is in nice condition. I purchased this bow from the original owner who purchased it new here in grayling Michigan. If your looking at this auction then you already know how rare these bows are. Nels Grumley was said to be the best bowyer of all time by archery historian Wade Phillips. The bow does have some small nicks and scratches in the finish not the wood its self (normal and to be expected for a bow of this age). if you have questions or would like more pics you may message call or text me at *810-824-9678* . if you hit the buy it now I will ship it inside PVC tube fully insured for free to the lower 48 excluding HI and AK the bow measures 66" long from end to end. I used a tape as accurately as I could to get that measurement.
