Beautiful stand. That's an 1121 stand. He played an 1123 after that one, not an 1123-1. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks, Mike -- I did a lot of research so I'd be able to call it the "# 1" stand.

And thanks for the kudos - as far as I know, all parts are "correct" for this stand. It's perfect for somebody with the right Ludwig kit!

ebay price lowered-- $219 to open.

hey...how can i get more of my photobucket shots in the listing? i KNOW it's a service other than phtbckt, but i can't remember... anyone help??

p.s. the auction ends tomorrow......

ebay auction restarted. Buyer developed cold feet?

Starting bid is lowered.

They're great hihats - I have one the came with my late 50's Gretsch kit......and I use it (it has a WFL Footboard) - and the WFL Speed King pedal too.

For anyone here that may be interested......... I had mine appraised in 2010 - the following text taken from that appraisal:

"The Ludwig 1123 hi-hat stand with this kit is in particular demand these days because it is the model that Ringo used with the Beatles. This stand frequently sells for $350.00 and higher, while the newer (and more stable) 1123-1 routinely sells for under $50.00."

Yike. As the saying goes: "From your lips to God's ear." We'll see what the market thinks!

I have sold one of these for 300, so I'm puzzled about the lukewarm response.

Huh.

Would Ginger Baker used this model hi-hat stand with Cream?.

Hmmmm ... good question. But I haven't researched that. Any photos online?? It may be a little early for Cream -- but I only know them from the time in the States.
