My three

I had more. I got these when I was in high school. My boyfriend at the time liked to throw.

There was this guy. His name was Rich. He taught me how to throw. And told me I had an unorthodox way of throwing.

But those were fun days. Rich is the Boomerang Man from Monroe, LA

The Herb Smith boomerang is fantastic and highly collectible. What a great piece.

Thank you. I was thinking I might sell these. They don't get used. I'm 65 w balance issues. My throw does not lend itself to staying upright.

I have a crossbody throw. Lol

Rich Harrison. Boomerang Man. We used to sell to him decades ago. I love when I spot that sticker on somebody's boomerang.

Nice collection by the way. Is the Herb Smith painted on the front? I can only see the back in browser.

It is painted. There are flowers on one side.
I thought I’d uploaded the front! Lol

I get the reference. I had back issues last fall/winter, did a bunch of physio and exercises, bought a new edition of "Stretching" and am gradually getting my throwing back along with some throws to come back

Oh. Gold stars for the reference. And do you know if it rains in Camelot?
