Yes......school band drum. Yes.....practice pad. All in Excellent condition. This case has kept it well preserved and it has not been played in over 25 years.

I would guess early to mid-80s (83-84) based on the rounded badge and box around the serial number. I believe I read somewhere that the last of the Chicago made Ludwigs had serials in the 3,14x,xxx range, but I could be wrong. That badge was used in '83 based on catalogs I've seen.

Based on ebay sales I would value at $135 to $200. Check out the sold items on ebay.

'Ludwig Acrolite 5x14 Snare Drum with case'

Thanks so much for the input all of you!!! Chewie: ......I just wanted to use the Chewbacca icon.....lol

I am in the atlanta area.

Acrolite prices have held pretty steady for the last 15 years,they are very common,with a few models/eras bringing a little more money.

As far as selling,E bay, craigslist,and reverb.com,and the classifieds on this forum are options.
