The drum is 14" x 16",wood shell with 12 lugs and a white flat finish.

14"X16"?!!!
Also, a better pic will probably be needed.
If insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, is it insane to practice?

Hi 2Wheels,
This one looks like it's up my alley. Throw a couple of more pics up when you get a chance and we'll see what we can do.

2Wheels,
These shells are typically one ply maple with maple re-rings. Tough to date the drum based on what we can see but 1920s is a reasonable ballpark guess. (Is there a number stamped into the wood the inside of the shell? A paper label?) I bought a simlar drum off the bay last year for $65. Value tends to range from roughly $50 - $150 for these single tension field drums.
Any more pics???
