1970s Ludwig Serial Numbers

[nelsoncan]

Hello,

I found the article on how to understand the Ludwig 60s era drum serial
number sequence most interesting.

I would love to purchase any books covering the Ludwig 60-70s era.

Can you help me determine the approximate age of the following Ludwig
badge serial numbers:

1906101
1908389
1908546
2037826

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Nelson

The best books on the topic are by Rob Cook.

I have some in my drum store. Click Here (http://www.vintagesnaredrums.com/shop/index.php?cPath=37&osCsid=c729dbbf6a0b9ce9da357af66f616d00)

Also, you can find them cheaper in other places, but those people are not supposed to be selling them under the retail price. So when you buy the book far below retail it is someone not playing by the rules.

There are three different serial number charts here (http://vintagesnaredrums.com/serial_numbers.html) that will answer your questions. Also, pictures of the drums and other information might help in dating them.
