14 x 9 inch Slingerland snare?

[pnetz61]

G-day,

I tried to research this snare a bit but can't seem to find one this deep. Can anyone give me a clue as to it's value? I can't find a serial #. The badge is copper and black. Made in Chicago. Dimensions are 9 X 14".

I also have a brass Leedy. I'll send that pic soon.

Thanks much for your help,

Is that the rim to rim measurement? or the shell itself without the rims?

Thanks

Rim to rim. AH!! Thus the odd size. So, that makes it a 7 1/2"? Judging w/out removing the rims, it seems to be so.

If you needed a serial #, where might it be?

Thanks again,

I guess in either direction you have a 7" x 14" or 8" x 14" which were catalog sizes.

The model at one time was called the Gene Krupa Model in the 50's and early 60's which I think your drum falls into based on the badge. It was also called a Radio King. Mainly the 3-point strainer and single ply shell if that is the case.

I can't tell what the finish is, but looks painted white??

Value is difficult without better pictures. It should have a one ply shell also???

Let us know those details and get a closer picture of the condition of the finish and hardware.
