What's gone...
To anyone brought to this page looking for material pertaining to any
of the following:
- Wilson Brothers of Springfield, Missouri
- Robert S. "Bob" Wilson
- Jack K. Wilson
- Norman E. Wilson
- Black Widow Bows (archery)
- The Wilson Tab
For my own inner well-being, I removed the relevant section of
this website in roughly 2012. It can still be seen via a crawl of this
site at the
Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. All the information in that section was made available
to the present Black Widow Bow people. I have no idea
whether they made any use of it.
Do not expect it to return.
Some clues as to why can be found in this essay.
If this brought you here:
- Tru-Gyde Hooked Rug Needle
I have two items for you:
- A zip file of scans of the instruction sheets.
- A short infomercial-style film showing how the thing was used.
It dates from around 1955. You will have to excuse the dour tone of my uncle Jack and it's a
real shame it is only in black and white.
