Question: If yours is a '51, I have that same snare, with identical hardware but in a 7" depth and the badge is a large brass oval with raised lettering and curlicues. What year does that put me in?
1951 slingerland snare?

Late '47 to '50 for the large oval according to this link: http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/drcjw/article_1_badges.html. Slingerland was notorious for not updating the pictures in their catalogs, thus the reason you see a cloud badge in the link provided by vintagemore2000. They still show cloud badges on snares in the '55 catalog, see http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/slingerland_catalog_pages.html.
I hope this helps you.
