Re: 61 Gretch jazz kit
Man those are very dark. Almost looks like black nitron. Those sizes don't pop up that often with Gretsch as most are 20/13/16. Check all drums top and bottom to make sure heads fit, those can be a real bugger if heads don't fit. You can get reproduction badges for around $30 each. Real ones go for around $100 for toms, snares and around $150 for bass drums.
If the shells are painted, it maybe because heads wouldn't fit with the original wrap. So rewrapping might not be an option. Hard to put a price on it. Generally a 14" Gretsch floor can fetch $1500 by itself. Repainted and missing it's badge. Maybe $600? I would say maybe $1200 tops the way it's sitting right now. Perhaps some of the Gretsch experts will chime in and give you a better take on it and price.
