I was looking for some information on my Dad's old 1967 Ludwig 18x16 Blue Oyster Pearl floor tom. I can't seem to find record of another one anywhere on the internet. I was hoping one of you guys knew how rare they are and a ballpark on how much they are valued.

There are two cracks in the bearing edge that will need repair. The keystone badge/grommet will also need to be repaired. I am in talks to trade the drum with a guy who got a repair quote of around $160.

The wrap is good and the color is vibrant. I will try to upload some pics, too. But for now, based on Ludwig history, could you help me put a value on the floor tom? I know that it is a rarity but I am not sure how many were made in that size and color.

The buyer(trader) wants to value the drum at $750 - $160 repair bringing the trade value down to $590. I feel like this seems low.

Can anyone help me out?

Anyone know anything? Thanks!
