Brass Acrolite ?

Posts: 2237 Threads: 272

Have anyone ever seen one of these? What should it be worth?

Is a 6 1/2" Supra worth more than a 5 1/2" ??

Thanks

They put the same badge on imports that goes on Made in USA drums? That could be misleading.

That is NOT an Acrolite, it is an import Rocker series drum, and it it bronze NOT brass. The import brass snares have a more yellow tint to the shell.

Used these are worth about $80 depending on condition.

I wondered. I saw it on ebay for bin 200 and i email the guy and told him it is 179 new. he just emailed me back and told me he relisted it at a lower price. Its noe 130 BIN. he has some supras on there as well. We got these at a estste sale evidently.

It sure is pretty! I may just get me one. At least it has a badge. I bought a brand new ludwig cs accent jazz kit a few yrs ago. When I recieved it I couldnt believe how cheap it was made. it didnt even have a badge, It had decals instead of badges. I sent it right back and ate the shipping both ways. I'n my opinion,"If it dont have a badge, it aint worth anything" (with the exception on the vintage ones that were made before they put badges on everything) and a true vintage kit that the badges were gone.

I ended up finding a Tama Stagestar on Craigslist for a whopping $50. They are much better that the ludwigs I had bought. I also aquired a set of Ludwig Accent CS Custom fusion kit(made in china) in tobacco fade laquer. These are much nicer than the Ludwig Accent. I plan on giving these to my nephew if he stays inteseted in playing. I already gave him a royce kit I had given to me.

as far as the supra goes..

it depends on the year/badge (transitional/pre-serial/keystone/blue-olive/etc.)

also depends weather the supra is COB or Ludalloy
