Posts: 3165 Threads: 969

Can any of you Luddy experts date this pair of Atlas stands, based on the bottom section of the stand and the base?

THANKS in advance for your time and your help.

My highhat has those swivel feet...I had no idea what year it was. I just figured early 70s.. What price range do these stands typically sell for?

Those aren't Atlas, they're early Hercules stands. Atlas had flat legs, Hercules have the tube legs.

Why Ludwig thought those swivel feet were a good idea is beyond me, with the hard rubber/vinyl on the bottom they slid all over the place. Yes, I do have one.

They didn't last long before Ludwig started putting big rubber feet on them.

they are atlas. not Hercules wasn't around in 1976. I use my swivel feet atlas stands all the time on the road, they are as solid as any of my 9000 series Dw stands they don't move one bit?
