I know in the 30s and 40s it was VERY popular for bowyers to use metal stamps like that, even garage builders. Id guess the sticker was much larger at one time. I'd say you have initials and it was his 18th bow built.

Thanks everyone and thanks for the information George. Picked this bow up at a yard sale for 5 bucks. Looks in pretty good shape for a kids bow. Who ever had it took pretty good care of it. York Archery has been around awhile. Is there anyway to tell when this bow was made?

Watch the grip fade out area for separation. I recently re-glued one because the old glue dried and no longer held.
I intend to add a rest tucked into a leather grip cover.
