Thanks, kevins. I had to pay for this one, though! I didn't get a great deal on it, money-wise. It's a pretty cool little drum (as far as it being a toy). Upon close inspection, you can see that the tin was scratched and then treated with some kind of chemical that gave it a surface finish that (I believe) was intended to mimic the look of a marine pearl. It looks like it was very lightly scratched with sandpaper or something and then treated with a chemical that grew strange crystalline structures from the scratches and then those crystals interacted with each other to form the weird marine patterning effect.

That's one cool process !!

Very cool, O-Lugs!
THANKS for sharing.
Just wondering if you've got one like this in your collection?
I guess I'd call it "Red Tin Drum w/Wooden Hoops."

Hey, Old School! That's one cool rig you have there! I'd love to see some close ups of it! And, no, I don't have one of those.

It's actually not mine.
There's a gentleman who's selling it in the local area.
I simply thought it resembled some of the drums that I'm aware you've been picking up and thought that perhaps you had one like it.

Well, it's really cool and I want it!

I honestly imagine that that could be arranged, assuming I don't end up with it.
