SLIMGERLAND. That is funny. Back in the 50's, my parent's first car had the individual metal letters on it as a logo like they used to do. They often spoke fondly of the old PONATIC.

I was referring to the spelling of the word "SLINGERLAND" on the badge.

I asked the current owner of the drum and he said it "must have been the camera" that made the spelling appear to be wrong. Hmmmm
