It depends on condition, all original parts, no holes or mods and shell depth...given all of the above is in then your 5x14 model is the most common...800.00-1500.00...4x14 and 6x14 are a tad more scarce...1200.00-2000.00...the 7x14 Black Elite is the rarest...2500.00-3500.00.

Hi Mike thanks for your valuation on the Leedy elite snare l really appreciate it.Here in Australia we don't get to see many of these vintage drums so getting to know values is quite difficult, regards Tony..

i agree with mike totally on !!!!

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

There have been quite a few on ebay recently at decent prices. You can pick up a 5x14 for 600-800 if you don't mind extra holes.. such as a heater vent. Great drums!
