I would guess it would sell for 15-20% more than this one does:

One other question. I want to take off the drum head(side opposite the snares)for complete pictures. I would take off the snare side because those are finger tightened, but I'm afraid I won't be able to put that snare skin back on. I can see where it looks like my grandpa put tape on there to hold that skin together.

Is there a specific tool I should use to tighten/loosen the drum head?

Hopefully, pictured below are several pictures of a drum in my possession(webmaster will apparently have to do it...)that was owned by my grandfather either in the 20s or mid 30s. We are not sure because he either used it in Drum and Bugle Corps in the 20s or when he was in the army in the mid 30s. I'm going with the latter because it does include a detachable green strap. I am trying to help my mom with finding out about this drum...how old it might be, etc. Would also like a range estimate of what it might be worth.A couple of important notes....The only two markings I could find as to the manufacturer was a small engraving that I have included, that didn't seem to match anything on the Vintage Drum site. The other one was on the drum head itself.Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. PS-I'm a Hammond Organist. Please don't make fun of my lack of drumness....

I would put the drum in In mid 30' or later after Conn brought Leedy they made numerous models of there own using Leedy Parts and putting the Conn name on them.
