Picked this up at an auction for next to nothing. Not sure though of what type/era of BB paddle this is. Blades is 20"x8". Any guesses?

Last year I sold a BB paddle very much like this one that I bought new in the 1980’s. Your paddle is in much better shape than mine was.

Thanks, do you have any idea what the model name is or was?

Sorry, no I don’t remember a model name since as I recall I bought it new in the early 1980’s. It was my first good paddle after using grey plastic Grumman paddles since 1970.

You may want to try contacting Bending Branches, they are located in Osceola Wisconsin.

I'm pretty sure I had one of those back in the 80s

It’s a pretty classic paddle. Looks like one I bought in 2001. I think the key to the age is the logo. Currently it has more words. Don’t know when it changed.

I'm mostly lazy--I only live 20 minutes from BB factory--I will probably swing over and see what they say.
