50's to 60's? Wow! Gotta wonder what path those arrows followed to end up in that resale shop . . . . .

Leaning to puttin' self nocks on them.

I vote for the self knocks, then you won't have to reknock them in another 50 or 60 years. ;)

Nice find, I just cut them off with a sharp knife, I would for sure replace them before I shot them.

I hold a heat gun to nocks I want to remove, in a few seconds the nock will start to melt and can be easily be scraped off with a knife.

Since they're going to receive self nocks, I cut them off with utility knife.

Nice find Mike! Wish I could run across stuff like that.
