I took the wife on a quick lunch date in town today. Just so happens to be an antique store next to the restaurant. They were having a 40% off sale. I got these for $2.40. I'm going to grind the jaws a little and use them for holding flat steel in my forge.
He had a selection of cast iron skillets. I got this Griswold for $19
And now for the interesting find. I went to a guys house I met on Tradgang. He lives about 30 minutes away. We split a little wood and then talked bows for a while. He ended up giving me this True Temper spring steel longbow. I think it was made in the 1920's - 1930's. It has a U cross section to the limbs. I believe its a take down but I didn't try to take the limbs out of the cork grip. The string is not original. I think it came with a metal string. We strung it up and shot a couple of arrows out of it. It's slow with some hand shock/vibration. He checked the draw weight and got 42 lbs @ 28".
