10 years agoWFL Badge question
I am going to say early 40's on that one. Prob 1940-1941. I can't see the whole drum but I'm sure that i just like the one I just sold not long ago.

Those drums look awesome! I may be in the minority but I don't care for yellow WMP nearly as much as I like white. I know it happens to them as part o...

Nice find! That is indeed the Las Vegas model! It should have come with a 4x13 snare drum. It is a very odd size snare but was made for this set up. I...
