This Is Printed Inside The Bass Drum, But Unable To Identify Manufacturer. Why 1966 As Well, This Bass Drum Is Much Older?

The hoops looks like Sonor. Very early Sonor. Are the tension rod tops triangles instead of square? If so my guess would be Sonor, pre WWII.

they are squared, others also told me this may be a Sonor but I'm also very curious about the printing inside. Is it a logo of a manufacturer, why 1966 as well if it's pre WWII?? thanks for the interest man greatly appreciate it

It looks SONOR, and could be as late as 1950+.

The stamp could be the school or band that bought it or something like that.

Maybe even repair shop. The one in the middle looks like yours.

looks like you're right my friend, all makes sense now! is there any way that I could possibly have an estimate of what it is worth and in this condition? condition is mild in my opinion, but since this is a very rare piece I'd recon it's worth some...

Maybe 1966 is a model number?

It`s rare in the US. Not in Europe. Check Europe Ebay or craigslist to get an idea.
