Acquired this bow from a garage sale for a dollar... Trying to figure out if this is worth anything. Allen pot bow. Engraved is the serial number and date which it was made. I think it was the 31st bow made. Just trying to figure out some more information about this.

That is an Allen patent. I doubt it is worth much of anything except to a collector of early compounds. And I've heard of any interest in them.

$50 to $150..... Love the bow. I have one and it was my first compound.

There was a guy @ the ohio deer and turkey show a couple years ago that collected old compounds. He had some old Jennings, a Cam Act and several others. No idea how to contact him. Apparentely there's a market!?

What's a "pot" bow?

If you're looking to flip it, I'll double your money.

Looks like "Pat." as in patent. The 31" is draw length not a production number.

I think it's really cool.

Look at the hardware on that thing.
