Happy to say, here's my contribution. 1948-50 Marble Lacquer with single ply 7x14 snare.

Those look great! I wonder if they ever made a 16x16 in that finish. I'm sure it was offered but I've never seen one. I love that finish.

I have the identical kit (minus the snare drum,) sitting in my basement as a future project! I have all the parts and original calf heads, it just needs some TLC and assembly. Yours looks great.

I'm keeping my eyes open for a 16", I'd love to have one :). If you happen to to run in to one I'd be much obliged for the heads up. Until then, this will have to do.

I have an extra 13" if yours is a major reclamation project John.

Nice kits folks. Red66charger. Is that hihat stand original to that set! Or the type that came with those sets ? Can you give me some info on it?

Looks like a Walberg and Auge. Kent sets had them sometimes.

Oh man, thank you for the offer, but no, my drums are complete and in really nice shape considering their age. Some paint chipping here and there but nothing major or nasty. I bought them as a 'winter' drum project and I never got around to them. I need to spend a little time with them and get them back up and running. Beautiful shells on these kits! I love all kinds of woods, but I could live inside the RK shells! Gorgeous stuff.

Again, thank you for the offer!

Here's one of mine.

That's a beautiful set! I'm in the same position of not have the 16" FT. I do have the 14" like you and all the mounting hardware but it seems a lot to hang off a BD hoop. What is the device you are using to make it a FT? I've seen them but only for 8 lug 14" drums. Cheers
