Can anyone ID the year of this Slingerland for me please?
Naturally the 809 may be a clue (or a diversion!), but I guess the Bass drum twin 599 cymbal holders may also help?
Thank you.

Nice kit! Would need a better picture a badge to narrow it down. Mid 60's may very well be date stamped on the insides of the shells.

The chrome setomatic came out in the early '70s. (The late '60s one was aluminum.)
A closer look at the badges and serial numbers would help greatly. The pattern of the wrap makes it look like a rewrap.
Thanks guys.
I assume the chrome setomatic would then tie it in with the tube legged 809 and Rocket stands?
Any closer idea on the date?
It has had a re-wrap. Not ever having seen an original Slingerland wrap, is this not a good re-wrap?
The available rewrap material has a very different look compared to the original.

Thank you, I can see that having found a good image of the original wrap.
That opens a can of worms I guess... :(
Another kit I am looking at has theses serial numbers and this badge.
Is this a circa 1977 kit?

Yes, about 1977....did you look at the Slingerland serial number guide to figure that out?
Thank you and for the link which I hadn't seen.
I had based it on other kits I had seen that people had given a year of manufacture.
That will help a lot! :)
I need to get serial numbers and badge pictures for the first kit now. :)
