Here is another restoration I just completed. This one was tough but it turned out quite nice. It is a late 1920's Liberty solid mahogany drum finished in Sea Green Pearl.

Beautiful job.

Is the brand of the drum LIBERTY?

Or is it Leedy or Gretsch?

Well, it's confusing....Most of the parts are Slingerland but that badge looks like Ludwig's oval badge. I'd love to find out more about the history of the Liberty company. Perhaps they sold their drum interests to Slingerland?

Yes, I have but thank you for posting it. I was trying to locate that page. Kind of raises more questions than it provides answers.
