based on my cursory research I think this is a 1955 or so Bear Cub....
Anyone have any opinions on it ID related or otherwise?
Thank you

Your cub is a '54 model. In '55 the cub was redesigned as a semi=recurve thru '57. bvd

The decal tells it's either a 1953, 1954, or 1955.
1953 - 62" - Maple Riser - Running or Standing Bear Decal - Blonde Glass.
1954 - 62" - Maple Riser - Standing Bear Decal - Blonde Glass.
1955 - 62" - Maple Riser - Standing Bear Decal, or Silk Screen Bear Logo - Black/Grey Glass.

I'd say because of the design of the riser and the decal either a late 1953 or 1954. And as buster v davenport said the 1955 was redesigned as a semi=recurve. Just my opinion.

My first laminated limb bow when I was 12 years old in 1957 was a '57 Bear Cub. My dad bought it for me from a fellow in Kenosha, WI who had a small archery shop in his basement. As I recall the cost was about $22 - $24. This was the first bow I ever hunted deer with. Opening morning of the season in Sept. 1957 I had about a fifteen yard shot at a running eight point. I missed! But that shot was the seminal opiate for a lifetime addiction to bowhunting. This year will be my 61 st. year bowhunting.
