I bought this last year paid $350 for it, thought it was a bargain, have not used it much, and need some cash for my prize 70 artist sling I want. I'm sure you guys know more about this drum than I, here is what know about it. its a 15 x 8. 12 lugs. original gut snares. (these snares can be tuned individually to dail in the exact sound you want) jasper shell (I think this is part of what made Camco famous) outer shell in great shape, throw off muffler all in perfect order. I understand Corder was only in the biz for a couple years, so not many of these around. since they used the Fibes factory, the hardware is the same as Fibes. so any Fibes collectors out there, this drum will match your set. I have this on EB right now, but if anyone is interested. I can remove the auction. its listed as a open bid of $299. much less than what I paid, if anyone here is interested, I'll work out a deal.

Well, I'm selling a lot of stuff right now to complete a 9 piece Walnut Stave kit for the Chicago NAMM Show, so a few of the items on my sig have been sold or have pending sales. You can look at this updated link of what is left. Still have more that I haven't listed yet, just trying to work my way thru all this. If anything catches your attention give me a shout back. I'd love to have this drum, might actually be able to bribe a better price out of Don if I dangled this in front of him! LOL!
