My first post. Trying to navigate the site, very cool. Ok, I have a 1940's something Ludwig set. Even the original carrying case and canvass for the bass. It was my fathers. He was a swing band drummer for years before he went into business, and he bought the set when he was in his teens. Then I used it when I was a teenager in the 60's in the rock band, but was embarrassed because the bass drum was huge and all the mid 60's stuff was much smaller ( and newer)
Long story short, Im now older than dirt, and while moving I came across this vintage kit that has been sitting for decades in storage. Perhaps this post is premature because I haven't even taken it out and looked over the entire set yet.
I did recognize what I thought the color might be in the 40's catalog here. Black and gold, I think.
Some of the pieces need to refurbished, but there is no doubt that it could be brought back to new if I find someone that knows what they are doing.
My question is, how much do you think this set is worth, and would it be better to sell it ( if I decide to) exactly the way it is as opposed to refinishing it?
Thanks.
