I had recently visited the Drum Center of Portsmouth here in NH, and was admiring the new Dunnett/George Way drums they had.
Just beautiful in my opinion.
It gave me a desire to obtain a Camco snare with the tuxedo lugs.
I pulled the trigger on this snare on ebay.
My first Camco, and I am very happy.
Listed at $450 or best offer. The seller acknowledged being unsure if the strainer was missing the extension.
I confirmed that it was, and made a lower offer that was accepted.
This drum is a beauty. Other than the strainer arm, it looks to be in almost new condition.
No fade to the wrap, the hardware has no corrosion, and everything appears to be original, but please let me know if you spot a problem.
First off, it is 4.5" deep. Exactly 4.5". Is that unusual?
It is a 3 ply shell.
The bearing edges are great, the badge and grommet have no signs of tampering. The snare wires and even the cords may be original.
The heads might even be original, and look barely used.
It sounds outstanding!
Barely visible on the inside of the shell , underneath the white paint, are the words "maple" in cursive writing, and "color" in print.
The key holder is there, but the key itself is not.
