I found this cool 5.5"x14" Slingerland snare on Craigslist recently for cheap and picked it up mainly for the color - green sparkle - to go along with a red Premier Artist Maple kit at church for Christmas. From what I've been able to find, the badge and serial date it to around 1967. I found pictures of a similar snare and it said it was the Artist series. Can anyone verify?
Also, it's missing the damper, original snare wires, and has a couple screws that aren't original. Would it be worth replacing these? Where could I find the parts? Any guesses on the value?
