Can anyone tell me what the approx value or rarity of a 1920 duplex deum in white pearl in excellent condition.

I believe it has an aluminum shell

Thank you

Some good pics would help. Without knowing condition, originality, or the level of deterioration, changes, etc. There is no basis to establish a value.

You ask a tough question; these "Spirit of St. Louis" drums pop up from time to time, but are relatively uncommon. I've only ever seen one in person, which was at Horntrader Music in OKC. They may still have theirs and you could call them to see what they're asking. Given the condition from the 'bay pictures it sure looks nice; but it IS in Switzerland, you'll have to pay the $80 shipping, and heaven forbid you need to "return" it for some reason. My opinion is it's worth whatever it goes for- supply is low, but so is demand. And it's a cool collector piece, but maybe not much of a player- for that you might want to go with a more "normal" Duplex snare. They are high-quality. I have a nice NOB 5x14" 6-lugger from the '20s and it sounds quite nice.

That looks like it has been rewrapped to me. I would ask the seller for better photos.
