It's a trans stamp. My money is on the type I based on hammering characteristics:

That's because its been sitting at the bottom of the Marianas trench for the last 50 years. It fell overboard on a jazz cruise and was only recently was recovered via submersible.

thats the copper in it

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.

The surface almost looks rough on the photo.

Are You buying it? I wonder what it sounds like.

Dry I would imagine. The surface being etched by all those years of exposure, should roughen it up to effectively make it sound as if it had been sand blasted.

I saw a trans stamp with that same kind of patina a few years ago. It was an 18" with a large crack.
