Title: New Pony in the Stable
Post by: Amberjack on April 13, 2025, 06:11:08 PM
Howdy folks,

Always on the lookout for a nice bow from the golden age and being a fan of Ben Pearson, I happened upon this pretty Pinto.  Believe she's a '66 or a '67.  A few stress lines but otherwise in excellent shape.

She needs a sand and refinish as some of the finish is flaking but I couldn't wait and took her out this afternoon.  Smooth and powerful, as you'd expect a 66" 49# Pearson to be.

Per the '66 catalog, a laminate bow of holly and cherry.
These Pintos are just about my favorite of the 1960's Pearson line.
