Hey, the Beverley's look great!

My first drum ever was a Beverley student model snare drum. It was new, came in a cardboard box that doubled as a case (had a nice handle), and a cheap 12" cymbal on its own stand. I bought it mid-to-late 1960s at Avenue Pawn Shop in Pauline, Ks (just south of Topeka).

The wrap on it was very similar to Precision's white oyster (see that here: http://precisiondrum.com/White_Oyster_s.jpg), and it actually was a cheaper version of a "free-floater" with no lugs -- however the throw-off was installed on the shell.

Any "Beverley" experts out there that can help me find info on this type of drum?

Again, thanks for posting the links/files. The drums look great!

Found my drum!

I found it on the web in the 1965 Beverley catalog (picture of catalog page below).

It was single-tension model #6113.
