Daisy Steel Bow: "Sioux Chief"

It was impossible to photograph in such a way to make it stand out, but the following is inscribed on the flat surface:

Daisy (in script)
Sioux Chief
Patented June 18, 1912
Plymouth MICH USA

I can't find anything on the 'Net regarding this object. Please help.

Dimensions?

Dimensions?

Good question. I'll get them. In the mean time, all I can suggest is to use my mother's hand in first pic as a reference. I should have dropped a pencil beside it.

Any patent numbers to go with that date? The city matches up with Daisy Manufacturing at that time but I can't find a single reference to "bows" oe the model you listed. One interesting note -Daisy Manufacturing started out as a steel windmill company and the first air rifles produced were given away as a premium to farmers who purchased a windmill.

Okay, the bow is precisely 23.5 inches from the tip to tip. There are no markings whatsoever other than what I have already posted.
