I have posted this on the Archery forum but thought I might get more exposure here. A buddy has 2 Wilson Bros. "Black Widow" long bows and would like to know their value. Are they collectable? One is 47# and the other a 35# target bow. Also on the bows are "Whissen?(sp) Archery, Milwaukee". Thanks for any info. These are ca. 1950-60.

  Hey Mazo, I need to know the serial numbers on the bows? H models are most collectable wilson brothers. They did not have a huge following on target models. The whissen? on the bows only tells you who sold the bows, just some free advertisement. I haven't been onlone much lately do to renovations at home. You can post the additional info or email me at Ray41462@aol.com I'll help as best i can.

  I'll try to get the info you require and forward it on to you. I have also forwarded this post to my friend so he may be contacting you directly. Thanks for your time. Emery

  I am surprised what they are getting for old Recurves.

  OK,here is what I have been able to find out: Wilson Bros. Black Widow bows-
  1) 58", 28" pull, 47#, # HF10233
  2) 66", 28" pull, 35#, # 5660
  Hope this is of some help in determining value. Thanks. Emery
