What is this snare strainer

It's a pretty sweet old snare on ebay right now. Looks to be solid Mahogany (or Walnut) shell with a very old cloud badge. Looks on the up and up. If any of you are interested, you may want to venture over. It comes with a neat old case and stand. Interesting snare, for sure.

Interesting. The Japanese knocked that design off in the '60's.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]That's what I would'a guessed...Pearl knocked that off on their stencil brands.
