maybe different bass drum/ 16x16 has latches/
"the very last set that WFL built to Ray’s custom specs. The toms consist of a 8”x12”, set up immediate player left, a 7”x11” to the right and a latching canister type 16”x16” floor tom. ..... the Ray Bauduc outfit specs in the 1950s catalogs. The bass drum features a 14”x18” shell, which may be the earliest 18” Ludwig built bass drum currently known to exist."

Hey Kevin, Allen Lewis here. I asked Mike Layton a question regarding a couple of engraved black beauties I recently came across and he pointed me in your direction.

I am wanting to know what a 3x13 (LB - 5538EN) and 6.5x14 (LB - 417EN) Engraved Black Beauty models would have sold for new. These can be found in the 94' catalog.

The ones I have found are literally NOS condition with all the paper, case and even the factory box used for shipping.

I am also searching for a current market value as my expertise is from late WFL through the 60's.

Any additional insight you may be able to provide will be very much appreciated.

Hey K.O.
This is homeby5 over at DFO. I finally put my foot in my mouth and got involved in a dust up over there last night and I guess I got banned yesterday. After 10 years, no warnings or nothing My bad though...I shouldn't have responded and I guess I crossed the line.
Anyway, the reason I am writing you is to ask you a favor. Can you PM rhythmace and ask him to email me? I want to talk to him about something (we had an ongoing conversation for weeks). I can't get ahold of him any other way. My email address is homeby51@att.net
Thanks for helping out K.O.
