Anyone interested in some early 70s (I believe) Slingerland 3-ply shells? Here's what I've got:
8x12 tom (SN 59967);
9x13 tom (SN 59969);
10x14 tom (SN 59950 or 60); and
14x24 bass drum (SN 59851 or 61)
All are in what was cataloged as "Black Beauty Pearl" and all were part of a Slingerland Avante kit. The wrap on all the shells has shrunk a little right at the respective seems. Each of the drums is missing some of its hardware. The toms are missing their bottom rims, heads and rods. However, all lugs are accounted for as well as the original tone controls and Slingerland Niles badges. All toms also come with batter side rims, rods and very worn heads.
The bass drum is missing the resonant side hoop, head, t-rods, claws and spurs. However, all lugs are accounted for as well as the spur mounts (4), batter side hoop, worn head, t-rods & claws.
If anyone's interested in any or all of these items, please feel free to drop me a PM. I plan on taking some pictures tomorrow to have available for any seriously interested party.
Thanks!
