The price list page is dated 1-29-42, so I'm assuming the date of the drum is from then.
As you can see from the price list, my drum was listed as a "Beginner's drum" and sold for a whopping $6.95!!!

Nice find O-Lugs!! That snare will display nicely in your living room. Is there any evidence that it has been restored or do you believe it is still in original condition?

Thanks! There's no doubt at all that the drum is 100% original. It's ridiculous!:D

I think we had one of these around the house when I was a toddler. My brother and I did everything to it but drum on it.

Yes! -as did most kids who got one, I'm sure!
I have a 1927 Ludwig juvenile drum (like the one pictured at the bottom of the page from the link below) and in the 1927 catalog, it is advertised thusly:
"This is the feature "Holiday" drum. The type of drum that appeals to the youngster at Christmas..."
See? They were in no way ever intending these drums to be serious musical instruments....and they weren't trying to fool anyone with ads like that. However, it is very interesting, to me, to see, first-hand, how well these 'toys' were made! Honestly!
