6-lug single tension-it's a conversation piece,unless you are looking for a "loosey-goosey".My humble opinion.....

I think this is the third time that seller has tried selling it, it was starting bid 250 a couple weeks ago and 300 a few before that.

I collect 6 lug Slingerland snare drums. Let me know if you have any for sale. Looking for Yellow Tiger, Silver Veil Pearl & Turquoise Veil Pearl

I would say the badge & hardware are worth that at least. It's kind of a cool looking drum.

Ya - I remember talking to you about that when I was looking for one for my 6lug Dixieland.

The one above looks different than mine (the dial?), but it is still a four point like the Renown.

Is that dial wrong?

The ones we have are different from that one. That one is an earlier version.....the knurled knob is from the mid-1950's onward, which is the style the three of us have....ok? ok. LoLoLoLo
