Has any ever seen a vintage budweiser snare

[jujubead]

I found this on my local craigslist, I'm thinking of making an offer. It looks like Slingerland Beaver tail lugs.

Well no... not until today. It's certainly an intersting piece of work. Why not make an offer?

I was thinking if you could find a history of Budweiser labels and see if that label matches the circa of the snare that would kind of be a clue as to when they stuck the Bud labels on.

To my untrained eye those look like Slinger lugs used from the 30's to early 50's.

I found a mirror on ebay that had the all the bud labels through history on it but I couldn't get the image large enough to read the dates.

Hey if it's a Bud drum ... maybe it has a "born on" date.

Best of luck!x-mas3
