No, The whole "L" arm top and bottom are Slingerland i don't have my catalog near me right now so i can't give the name of the line of the hardwear that this is from....I will check the S/L catalog later today and let you guy's know...Mikey

I'd have gone along with Longjohn - tilter does look like a 70s Pearl I have also. Suppose it could go either way, as it seems that Slingerland was one of the main templates for many of the early Japanese stencils. If it says 'Made in Japan' anywhere on there, that would certainly clear things up.

Well re the tilter, Just checked an old trap case, I just found a second one that I have.. and its part of a still working Pearl boom stand.
