Ludwig & Ludwig New Era 1920's Snare drum
Hi All,
This is my first post but I have been reading the site for years. Coming from a long line of drummers in my family, we've collected (and in some cases unfortunately sold) a lot of drums over the years. One of these drums still in our possession is a 1920's Ludwig & Ludwig snare that my dad has owned for 40+ years, with only one prior owner. I'm hoping for feedback on this drum, on it's rarity, maybe even value and just to share it with you all. It is in 100% all original condition (apart from skins) with the only issue being 2 cracked claws, apparently easy enough to source? Anyway, here she is..

I`m not a Ludwig & Ludwig expert but my... is that ever one beautiful snare! Think you`ve got something very special there but i`ll let the guys that know the answers to your questions chime in here. Especially cool to know it`s from your family and still remains...

Ah, the extremely rare 1929 New Era Sensitive! What a beauty. I have a metal version and Mike Curotto has a couple black engraved versions as well as fancy pearl finishes. Quite a valuable and rare drum.

Re: Ludwig & Ludwig New Era 1920's Snare drum
Thanks for the replies everyone.
This drum may be up for sale as my dad has collected drums over the years but now into his 60's, is questioning the point to hoarding and collecting the drums at this point in his life. The money would probably be put to better use. It's not officially advertised anywhere at the moment but ideas on it's value would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Josh
