Identify Rogers Tom date/era - Page 1

Posts: 2 Threads: 1

I have a vintage Rogers tom 9 x 13 ; 14 x 14; and 16 x 16. Mounted tom is Swivomatic.

The label inside the drum reads Powertone Model - made in USA by Rogers, Fullerton, CA... No. 29967 And in pencil, somebody wrote their initials "HIR"...

They are the black finish.

Any idea of value?

Also, I have a partial 5 x 14 Dynasonic snare that I'd like to date.

Serial no. 20984

Please help!

thx

The initials was from a assembly worker. Someone may know their name.

14 is worth most. $500+ depending on condition.

Others likely worth $100-250 depending on condition again. Any tags in the other drums? Machined collets and leg mounts have more collectable value then later cast pieces.
