Pretty cool and never seen an original die before. We know you have a busy store to run and look forward to seeing some more of your collection when you can Ted.

Re: Old broadheads
From right to left 8 Pearsons-4x5 and 5x6; 7 Homer Proutys; and the remaining 4 must be the Rose City heads, although I have never seen any before so that is a guess.
Re: Old broadheads
Wow talk about punishment for having seen those Prouty's two years ago! The Pearsons all look to all be made in the period from 1938 to 1942. From left to right a 1938 5x5 round shouldered; 1939 6x7 square shoulder round corner; 1941 5x5 slope shouldered; same; 1938 6x7 square shoulder, I'm getting a headache, 1942 4x5 slope shoulder; the last two are 5x5 slope shouldered from 1941. Some of the early heads were plated and others were blued and that might account for the color variation.....................I could do a lot better if you send me the heads to look at in person-I'll PM you the address.
Re: Old broadheads
I'm looking forward to spending a few days in your shop this summer Ted. Make some bows and look over your broadheads.
BTW guys and gals, if you have never seen Ted's shop you are missing out.

Re: Old broadheads
Oh wow Ted! You are indeed fortunate to have that head-it may be the best example around. I would have had a tougher time id'ing it if the guy's name were not on the pic!
There were other heads made around that time-late twenties early thirties-and they are so similar how can a guy like me tell them apart?

Re: Old broadheads
Ted, please forgive me since this is not an old broadhead topic but do you happen to have any of the late Jay Masseys arrows? If so how about a peek at them. I have heard he was quite the arrow builder.
