Advice on 1930 something Ludwig set Last viewed: 1 day ago

Loading...

Discovered my fathers set, stored for years but needs refurbishing. Bass, two toms, snare, cymbals, high hat. AND the original carrying case and canvass for the bass drum. Someone checked the tags, told me it was from the 1930's.

My question is...IF and its a big if I decided to sell it, would it be better to find someone to refurbish it, because Ive never done anything like that, or ...sell it as is? And as a wild ball park, what could I expect to get for a vintage kit like that? I cant seem to find any intel on the sell price of a 1930's Ludwig kit.

Thanks.

sell it as is in my opinion. collectors and enthusiasts love to do these things themselves...

+1 on selling as is if you decide to sell. As far as value, that depends on many factors - condition, all original or not, etc. Any way you can post some pics of it?

Just an update. The drums have not been looked at yet due to extreme insanity at current biz. Hopefully this week I'll get it open and take some pics. Everything is original.

I would sell it as-is in the condition it's in.If you have never have re-stored a set,you would most likey take away the value of it.....Mikey
