HELP! What do I have here? Need some input. Last viewed: 1 day ago

Hi All!

So I recently picked this up in a drum lot and found it to be pretty cool. It's in pretty good shape besides the snare wires / springs being a bit loose.

It measures roughly 11.5" in diameter and the actual shell is about 3.25" high. Both heads have stamps on them that read: "Made In The USA - Genuine Head - SKIN". The throw has markings that read "PAT JAN 25 - 27".

I am leaning towards maybe this is a toy drum, but not sure. Any input anyone here can add would be appreciated. Just trying to find out what I have and what it may be worth.

Thanks and have a great day!

Maybe you can search the US Patent Office databases. It's a longshot.
