I recently acquired a Leedy snare drum with the brass medallion. The shell is wood and it has 10 tuning lugs that are tunable from the bottom only. The strainer has 12 snares and appears to be original. The numbers 3506 and 3507 are stamped on the interior of the shell. The top batter appears to be original.
I'd like to define the type of wood this is constructed from, the exact age and an estimated value.
I'm new here. How do I attach pics?
Thanks

Your leedy is a conn era drum,and it is from 1935, please post some pics of the drum??
Its a Leedy from the Conn era.....1935, Mahogany with maple reinforcement rings. Its a Marching snare, one of the lower student line ones. Still a great sounding drum though. As far as value....hard to put a true number on marching drums as they tend to be all over the place. My guess would be between $225 and $275.
it is a marching or field snare drum,single tension with thumscrews tension rods, gut snare's, take a pic of the front to show the snare strainer and leedy badge?
And another pic. Let me know if you need a particular angle.
What size is it??, i have a Leedy field snare it is a 12x16 from 1935 november
