Jim Mayfield became interested in boomerangs in the mid
1980s. He travelled to boomerang tournaments to compete and
collect boomerangs from other top competitors. Jim learned
how to make his own rather quickly. He began manufacturing
his own boomerangs at his Gunnison Colorado home in the late
1980s. A few years after forming Colorado Boomerangs, Jim
sold his company to Richard Pollock-Nelson. Jim worked with
Richard after the sale to make sure that the quality of
Colorado Boomerang products remained high after his
departure. Jim Mayfield was critically injured in a
motorcycle accident on 11 October 1999. He died two weeks
later at the age of 48, leaving a wife and four young
children. Early examples of Jim's products have become very
collectable. This boomerang is the original " Delicate Arch " . It has
two small lead weights in each tip and attractive art on the
upper surface. Jim Mayfield's signature and the date of
manufacture (11 July 1988) was written in ink on the
underside. The underside of the lift arm has "Delicate Arch"
and "10 ply #1/1" written on it. This one is in mint
condition. A wonderful sports boomerang and a terrific
collectable.
