Collection of very old bass drum pedals, make? Value?

Posts: 39 Threads: 13

Hey there, first time posting, and doing so from iPhone so I hope this works for pics.

This past weekend I was lucky enough to buy some very old drum hardware and drums. These pieces belonged to a WW1 veteran who was a medic in the 25th regiment of the US Army in Boston Mass. He also played percussion in the regiment band. He kept everything! I was able to purchase everything accept for a snare drum that had previously been sold. I will be posting pictures over the next few days to get your assistance on what I have and value. Pretty rare to see drum related pieces this old in eastern Canada!

The only pedal I know of is the Ludwig, it appears to be very early, mid 1920's. value?

As for the others? No clue

One is wooden, another is part wood part metal, the other two look like old piano pedals converted.

Thanks for any assistance!

If it`s 20`s or teens, SONOR made a few wood/ metal pedals.

This is a logo found under the foot board of the wooden pedal. The beater on this one sits on top of the bass drum and swings inward
