Can anyone tell me around the years that Rogers would have used mahogany drums shells like the ones found on Wfl's? I have a 22x14 bass drum that was factory drilled for Rogers lugs and the big R spur mounts. I'd like to find some toms to match but I haven't seen any others like this. Thanks for any information.

The Big R mounts do not belong. Does a Bread and Butter lug also fit? Looks like those holes have been worked.

Not sure about bread and butter. I don't have any. Yeah I figured the big r mounts were added. Thanks for the help. So would you guess 50's?

I have never seen a Rogers shell with mahogany inside. Also, the impressions from the large lug washers show that it is a pre-1968-69 drum, so those Memriloc holes are not correct.
Also, the inside being unfinished like that was not the Rogers way.
That could have started out as a W&A drum: they used Rogers beavertail lugs from time to time.
It just does not look like a Rogers shell to me.
