Hello all!
I’ll be upfront with you…ultimately I want to know what a fair value is for this set or what I should offer if I go and check them out…but first here are some details:
-Seller confirmed that all lugs, mounts, etc. are accounted for (complete)
-60’s Ludwig keystone set 12”, 13”, 16”, 22”
-Champagne sparkle wrap
-12” (add on) is late 60’s with natural/clear interior with re-rings
-13” & 16” are late ’66 and bass is early ‘67
-muffler in 16” is not correct (should be baseball bat)
-seller claims “Some dings and scratches, not collector grade” “wrap is tight with minimal fade”
-hoop missing some of the inlay
-in the picture with the bass you will see that it appears to be cut/drilled for a diamond plate mount (add on) that is off-center. The seller thinks it was originally a virgin bass drum as there are no holes for a rail consolette but this also doesn’t make sense if the set was in fact originally 13”, 16”, 22” and the 12” was added on there should have been a rail consolette unless the set was special ordered with a virgin bass. Correct?
I’m not too worried about the flaws as long as I can get them for a fair price which is where you guys come in
With the pictures below and what I have detailed above what do you think would be a fair price?
I also would want to make sure the 12” is not re-wrapped to match…would a clear interior drum with re-rings have the wrap built into the plies of the shell?
Thanks for the help!
