A Couple Ludwig Questions

[drumbum3131]

. Did Ludwig ever make orange sparkle in the 60's and if not do you think a gold sparkle could fade to look like one?
. Did Ludwig ever make a set with the center drum mount like on the Hollywood set but with only one arm on it?(Like in the picture below)
. When did ludwig stop putting nickel hardware on their sets?

Nickel hardware stopped sometime around 1960-62. Orange sparkle was available early in the 60's but wasn't that popular. Finally, yes they did use a single post tom mount in the late 60's all the way to about 1980. Check the catalog pages on the main Vintage Drum Guide website for pics.

Did they ever use orange sparkle in late 60's transition years. By the way thank you ludwig dude you are always there to help and it's great to hear from you.

I'm glad I could help and that I'm still appreciated by some on this forum.....

Sparkle gold seems to be the only thing I can come up with. Gretsch had a tangarine sparkle in the 60's.......but I can't seem to find anything with ludwig.....maybe yours are gold or red that have faded to an orange?
