This was given to me in 70's as part of a mismatched Gretsch kit.....can anyone tell me what year this drum was made? 16 inch heads, 3 ply.

Love the drum.

Here is a pic sans edges of my favorite toy as a kid in the summertime.

Now it looks really good.

Hmm,

I don't see any sound-rings so it's not early to mid-1950s... my guess it's from late 1957 to early 1962'ish time frame.

Really hard to tell from your photos how many plies... 3 or 6...

I know this drum. It's 3 ply, silver sealer, no inside label, reverse bearing edges.

I'm thinking mid-late 50's.

1963 Blue Sparkle Rogers 4pc
1969 Blue Sparkle Slingerland 26"x10" marching bass drum(converted into kick drum)
1940 Ludwig 26"x12" bass drum
1970's Ludwig Black Beauty
