I know it's hard to tell from 1 pic but I may pic this up for parts on C-list. Can anyone tell what it is by this one pic?...besides a headache! Tension ends look slingy to me.

Look like a MIJ. Compare it to the 1965 Star hardware on this link

Good call! I think you nailed it. I knew a lot of those MIJ kits copied Slingerland. Thanks for the link.

Hello, ska!

I have a set of Supremes and a set of Tempos. They are both stencils of Star. I think that is what you have, sir. These are probably from the mid-sixties.
