I wouldn't mind having that bow hanging on the wall at my place!  Nice addition to your collection.

I've got two That are still shooters. one from the early 30's and one from the 40's. Both have a lot of set. I'm heat bending three more old ones back straight and heat treating the bellies right now. They'll shoot again, proudly. :)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Agree that it is an ELB-style carriage bow (lower poundage, maybe 40lb).  Dr Charles Grayson brought one to MOJAM one year.  I thnk his was osage orange.  He was a fellow who travelled abroad and collected a good many bows as well.  Degame is also a good guess for a wood that was used for bows.  Water buffalo horn tips.  Doesn't appear to have been use much with all its reflex.
