Hi johnnyz!
Intriguing drum! The 3-ply shell suggests it's from the 1950's. The same for the double-flanged hoops. If the drum were a little deeper, say 6.5", and the bottom lugs were inline with the top lugs, I'd say this would be the Broadkaster snare drum. Let's see if anyone else has seen this before.
Forgot to mention that the wrap is a faded "Midnight Blue".

I'm thinking it was a marcher that was cut down to now what we see here.

Agreed! I never thought about it being a possible marching drum.
