This auction is for: One vintage Harris & Ovington Long Bow which is sold EXACTLY as found mixed up with a workbench of old tools I purchased from an Estate Sale so YOU clean, add line, or do whatever. Please note that I do not know diddly squat about this type of item so please ask your questions prior to bidding. The stamped numbers pictured 68 37 28. I'm guessing the 68 is for length, unsure about the other two. Never sold a bow before so I played hell trying to find a box to ship it in. Ended up paying through the nose from a local UPS store. I have forward the cost to the buyer as a handling charge, sorry about that. My starting price is a guess of what I'm in it for. See pictures and condition for further details. What you see is what you get.
