Finding a Gladstone snare and hitting the lottery have always been dreams of mine.BUY NOW - before the guy changes his mind. Refinance the house if you have to, but get the Gladstone!!!!!John
May I add, Gretsch Gladstone, still a great find but not of the Gladstone caliber type of find. This should be fun!

Yowsa! That will be a hell of a score if it comes through! Pray that the seller has no idea what it is! Good luck and please let us know how it turns out!
YAY! I just bought the Gretsch drums! Now to figure out what exactly I have..
Here are some more pictures. I haven't done anythign yet, as far as cleaning..Please give me some information on the drums. (year, color, original, value possibly etc.. Oh yea, all the cymbals are made in Istanbul Turkey
Gotta ask.................what did you pay for 'em? I thought those cymbals looked like Istanbuls.
Cheeses, Mary & Joseph... Those are 3-ply Brooklyn shells, 40's/50's era with Broadcaster lugs, single flange hoops, and a deep, 5.5" Gladstone snare. Oh, and the Istanbuls. Cleaned and polished up, you're looking at a (approximately + or -) $4000.00 kit with possibly another $2500. to $3000. in cymbals. $6500. to $7500. value total.
Now, how much did -you- pay for them?
Monster score dude. Wish it had been me! Congrats on a once-in-a-lifetime score.
John
WOW, thanks. What about the light in the bass drum is that original? Are the bass hoops original they are not the same color, do you think this kit was purchased togther, what is the date you think, what color is this?...any info appreciated?
He wanted $400 for them...
Like, I'm so Jealous! 400 - smokes! Did, do, you feel a little bit guilty? You didn't counteroffer?
I'd wager the lighting's original. I had a 40's WFL kit that had one.
Congrats on the humongous find - Chris
… and this month's winner is…
Congratulations Prostix !
