Hello Drumpersons,

A little help please.

What do I have here? A customer wants to trade it for a guitar.

http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150318279771218.345806.78954626217&type=1

please respond via email [email]hmi@scott.net[/email]. I am not a drum person and will not likely frequent this site.

Very sincerely,

Bob Tedrow

Looks like 6 lugs.I'm guessing a Professional model,possiby a Student model radio king.They came in duco finish with single flange rim with clips,and it also looks to be 7x14.,early 40's..

More photos please

The original poster told us up front that he was going to do a hit and run. It isn't worth my time and effort to email him my opinion. If you folks want to do that, knock yourselves out.

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

I agree.I guess he thinks we have a lot of time on our hands.Maybe we should start charging for drum I.D.s and evaluations like other guys do....nah

It looks six lug to me too, but I don't think there are any six lug snares from that time period with beavers, not in catalogs anyway.... still all tube lugs on lower end six-lug snares.

Student Model Radio King is an eight-lugger, but was actually the Solid Wood Shell Professional at the time frame we're addressing.

That' why the six-lug with RK lugs config has me puzzled.....

Again, better pics and more details...dimensions, etc.

I'll happily help out any with questions posed here and post here what little help I can.

Hopefully, it's help for the next cat who comes along as well, and another reason why PICTURES SHOULD BE POSTED HERE ON THE WEBSITE SO THEY WILL BE HERE IN THE FUTURE FOR HISTORICAL REFERENCE FOR OTHERS.

seems to me we are the appraisers for vintage drums it will never change same ol song and dance

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
