Ludwig Abalone Pearl

[Olimpass]

Here's a great looking snare. I've never seen this finish before but isn't that the incorrect strainer that belongs on this drum? Also the wrap looks added on too with the 2 seams and another grommet hole? Maybe it's a newer drum with an old badge? Thanks in advance for any input.

It's a re wrapped Frankie!!! two vent holes??, wrong strainer should be a p-83 not a p-85, and the badge is missing paint from reapplying the eyelet!!Rip off!!:(

And the badge is straight up repro. They are all over the place. This guy is a real work of art! I asked him about the bad wrap....let's see what kind of crap he comes up with. I saved the 2 vents and badge for later...
Messin' with sasquatch is fun, ain't it?

As a vintage piece, the value is shot.. as a players drum, it's worth something.. not the asking price though.

Dear noelm707,

OK, so...why is the wrap patched toether under the strainer? I should have been wrapped into the scarf joint. And the hoops should be NOB, not chrome. Something about this drum says NOT! As in NOT a real vintage drum. Check your source before you end up selling and getting a SNAD and more bad feedback.

Dear johnm4248,

you need to scaf up more knowledge,get your facts right,your why seasoned ebayers question ebayers under 50 feedbacks- like yourself,oh by the way your block,im saving you money.

My reply was "So what does my feedback score have to do with my knowledge of vintage drums?"
And the fact I closed my store after getting hacked.

Sugar versus Vinegar

Sugar may attract more flies than vinegar, but dog feces has them both beat by a long shot. Of course, that line of thinking may explain the many lonely birthdays I've suffered through the years. Dang.
