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.
