Here’s another pic of the mystery bow, no emblems or writing on limbs...belly or back. I thought the red glass was interesting. Anyone have a clue?

Looks like a Ben Pearson to me maybe...

Well, assuming it's a recurve bow, I would say a 1959 or 1960 Shakespeare 100, 200 or 300. If you have a photo of the entire bow, it would be easy to ID. I'm already 90% sure.

Cravotta Bro’s possibly. Ben Pearson looking grip.

Thanks guys, I was suprised there was no emblems or markings on the limbs; nothing to identify the manufacturer... it shoots beautifully

There should have been a light silkscreen that said Shakespeare Wonderbow on the upper limb, but they faded quickly as time wore on. Maybe it was refinished, but if so, the rest and side plate look to be original.

This may help for future reference on Shakespeare/Root bows:

Motherlode also nailed it on the OP's first thread...here's a 65# model I had...they are great shooters.
