KCDrumDad, just came across some info by DrCJW where he claims Slingerland did use a month, day, year stamp during the sixties.

Now that I am looking, I am finding several examples of the month, day, year type stamp. I looked through the DRCJW info quickly before posting but did not see anything. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Slingerland.

Collecting information about the following for ongoing research projects:
Gretsch drums with serial numbers,
Ludwig Keystone and B/O badge drums with serial numbers and date stamps,
Ludwig Standards from 1968-73, and
Ludwigs with paper labels from 1971-72

I also searched through the articles by Dr CJ and did not find this information. Regardless, it does appear that the Shelbyville team did stamp the shells as pictured. I was also mistaken in that the toms had air vents and badges. The Shelbyville operation closed down before 1967, which is when the vents and badges occured.

Hi,

Has anyone ever seen these? This is likely an early 1970s floor tom that I recently purchased to match my bass drum. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks
