From Rockiezz

Very Nice! I had 2 22" Basses and a tom by Lido Supreme that I sold off, hard to find parts for those. They look great!

Rockiezz, Parts are not that hard to fine for these 60's-70's M.I.J. set's i have 1,000's and 1,000's of these parts....Mikey

S. Scott, I pulled some of the pictures off your site and stuck them here. Hope you don't mind. Those are very cool, and need to be seen even if something ever happens to your site.

You have a nice match. My kit has a slight variation of the swirl on the bass and floor tom, different from the snare and tom....

I also have no badges on any of the drums...

The wood snare in that finish is uber-rare, and here on the same post we ave two woodies in Fantasia Pearl, one 6 and one 8 lugger! Great examples for future research. One of the coolest wraps Star ever put out. My faves are:

1) Peacock Pearl

1a) Fantasia Pearl

2) Lava Pearl

3) Plain old vanilla White Marine Pearl

The rest are all pretty nice, but these 4 just trip my trigger. There are some other really cool and rare wraps that were exclusive to certain distributors it seems, like Candy Cane, usually only found on Dixon, a Brooklyn Music name at the time, I believe (could have been San Antonio Music Supply as well, but I am uncertain and there are really no records from which we can glean all the lost info. We are fairly certain of some badge ownership to certain distributors) and Orange/Silver, looks like a goldfish or koi.
