Rogers Snare- Help

[mazecraz]

Hello everyone
Can anyone give me information on a Rogers Spotlight
snare. I know these were made late 50's or early 60's.
It seems to be hard to find information on this model
snare drum. Any help on this snare would be great
(parts used,rims,lugs).. I know this snare was'nt as popular as the Powertone or Holiday models..
Thanks

Thanks for information Old School...
That helps alot.. Do you know by chance what kind of
rims were used on these drums.. Did they ever use L-rims.
Like the Old Black Beauty's..And are these desirable?
Thanks

Unfortunately, I can't provide any useful information in regard to the rims.
Sorry!
