As requested Vintagemore, looks like it was once a rail mount, someone switched out large lugs for the ones now on the drum, you can see the old impressions. The wrap is coming off as well...not sure what I should do with it...Thanks for confirming my suspicion about the lugs. Let me know if you need better pics, I'm not the best photog.

Another of the badge and one where you can see the old lug repair/impression. Left side below and near the end of the mounted lug.

Vintagemore, thank you. I had no idea and I continue to learn. So based on the badge id, this is from the 30's?

I had not seen this particular design of BD lugs.

I have a set for my 40's project.

They are different. See pic.

Cooper's Drums states that the long Imperial Bass Drum lugs were introduced in 1937.

See pic.

I am not sure if the lugs on your drum are WFL or Ludwig.

I think they are a different brand.

The design is different.

But they "are" very similar.

I really want to know if these are very old WFL or something else.

So I bumped it.
