Point!! 7 years ago I was cleaning out a closet at work and ran across a snare drum, I gave it to my nephew who was 17 or 18?? I for got about it. 2012 I am now doing minor things with custom and vintage stuff and brought that snare up to him. he said that it was in his closet and was looking to just change the throw on it. Supposedly they looked it up on the internet back then and traced it to the 60's. I have no pictures and do not even remember what it looked like, except that I know it was old. Any how I know that he wont just give it up, what should I offer him to take it away. I have no pictures of it, But I do not want to make the same mistake that I made with my oak Lawn Camco 25 years ago?? Any Help or thought would help, When I do get it I will post pictures??

You might browse the Slingerland snare section in the Drum Guide; maybe it will jog your memory?
And check this section too for some eye candy....:)
Once you get some pics up we can help you out some more for sure.....:)
buy him beers and give him a brand new, crisp one hundred dollor bill.
tell him he, he owes it to you, hell you gave it to him. that was a pretty nice gesture. hell, i'am an A$$ hole i bearly give stuff away.
if you get it back and its all messed up your only out a hundred bucks and some beers, and he's still your buddy.
You gave it to him. It's now fodder in his closet. Ask for it back, if he isn't gonna use it. Buy him a case of his fav bev. Does he even play? I'd give it back to MY uncle if he was interested in getting it back.

Sorry man,but you gave the drum to him with I assume no strings attached.It belongs to him.Now it seems,you may think its worth some cash and you want it back?I guess at the time,you didn't think it was worth much.
To me,its the same as lending a friend money.Firstly,don't do it with the notion you will get it back.Secondly,don't lend ANYTHING to anyone(especially kids),that you can't stand to lose.
None of the 60's metal snare models I'm thinking about are worth any real money,so this isn't a great loss.If you REALLY want the drum back(though I can't imagine why,since a replacement can be had fairly cheap on Ebay).then offer him a Franklin and a case of MG 64.:2Cents:
