Hey there, everyone....
I recently came into ownership of a 28" by 14" bass drum that was in an attic in Cleveland, Ohio. I have taken photos of it, but have no other identifying information, other than the "manufacturer's" name, which is J G Richards. From what I have learned, J G Richards re-labeled many brands of drums and sold them as their own. The people who had it before me said that there was a musician who lived in the house at one point and suspected that the drum was from the 1920s or so, but I have no way of confirming that. I will include several pictures of the drum, as well as the hardware. Any help with any information would be appreciated!!
Well, it didn't let me attach more photos than one, but....you get the idea.
