Description: We have uncovered at
least three different bolos that may have available during the summer of 1979.
These are shown here. Top left is a flatter design with light clear coating.
Bottom is much like the top left, with an added thick "domed" coating that is
smooth. Top right is a round metal decal type application to a blank bolo
design. It is not however clear if all three were sold in 1979. At least one
person has stated that their memory clearly recalls the green corded examples
as having been sold after 1985. So we would like more input from everyone who
has any memory of these bolos. The "three tree" pattern design was originally
intended to represent 1979, but could have been carried forward later for a
number of reasons. Just a few ideas we must consider: The bolo were made in
1979, but excess inventory was sold much later; A 1979 patch / design was sent
as an example to a bolo manufacturer after 1985 who copied it as
presented.
