Correct Logo for '47 Radio King Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Posts: 12 Threads: 7

Hey guys -

Haven't been here in a LONG time, but you guys have ALWAYS been helpful.

Anyways, about five years ago I pieced together and restored a '47 Radio King (I even got the floor tom from a member here...I forget what user...are you out there?) I played the kit regularly up until two years ago when I moved out to washington to finish up school. Long story short, school is over and the drums are making the journey out west to be with me.

I'm working a polishing them up, lubing the rods, replacing heads, etc. I am trying to find which Radio King logo for the bass drum matches this era appropriately. Could you guys help me out?

The only "logo" would be

"Genuine Calf-Radio King" on the heads...............

"Always make sure your front bottom BD lugs clear the ground!"
