Sounds like early bows made by Stemmler Archery. They started making making bows around 1912. wsent out of business around 1977. The numbers are likely the draw weight.
With pictures folks might be able to provide more information.

Likely lemonwood bows, they literally made thousands of them. They really are of little value but if they aren't all dried up they may work fine for kids at 30 and 35 pounds.
