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.
