Both the bows were manufactured in 1971 and were part of the Shakespeare "Wonderbow line". My brother-in-law owns the X29 and it had not been out of the closet for around 20 years due to his shoulder problems. He asked me to clean it up and I replaced the string with a new 60x 45" Dacron string and it shoots beautifully. Very fast bow.

I found the X18 for $100 and its in super condition and I love the green glass.

These bows do not get the attention vintage Bear bows and some others do, and Shakespeare did not advertise the way Bear and Pearson did so they don't have the same collector factor but these bows are really well made and beautiful bows and great shooters.

Seeing that title I thought you had come over to the dark side and I'd see some wheels and cables. lol Nice looking sticks.
 
I began my archery "career" with a Browning Nomad recurve, wonder who made it for Browning?? I also had a Shakespeare that I bow fished with but don't remember much about it except it was a tough bow....
Then I was the first kid on the block to have a compound, the good old, Jennings mod T. Shot that bow at dots for many a year..
