Fasco Bows have any value? Have a chance to purchase one. 6 out 10 as far as Condition. Try and get a picture .

There are many Fasco bows, some not even build by Fasco, so a photo would be good. After Seattle Archery bought Fasco, the bows were outsourced from other companies, so need to see what you have.

Awful things! Buy it and send it my way for disposal!

FASCO made a lot of spectacular bows and also some duds. Pics needed!

FASCO got started in San Diego in the late 1950s. It was bought out by Seattle Archery in 1962 and then moved to Washington in 1964. FASCO also made bows for a number of other companies. (Drake bow line was acquired in 1963.) The 58 inch "Sonics" were popular and thousands were made. In 1970, FASCO was sold to a fellow in California, and it soon became extinct.

So, if the bow is a Seattle Archery FASCO, go ahead and buy it!

Ahhhh, the sale of the company in 1970 was what I was referring to, but I had the gozintos mixed up. Not unusual for me.
