Rogers Powertone Snare manufacture date?

Posts: 1094 Threads: 183

Hi all

I have 2 really nice Power Tone snare drums & I am trying to figure out the year they were made.

The chrome one has a Fullerton CA label inside with serial number- 049996.

The SS one has a Dayton OH one with serial number- 17317.

Both these drums are in great shape too (see pics)

Thanks!

Based on the Rogers Dating Guide I've seen, I'd estimate the Dayton Powertone is circa 1967-68, and the Fullerton drum is circa 1971 or so. Perhaps a Rogers guru like Dan1C will weigh in.

1966 Rogers Holidays 8x12, 9x13, 16x16, 14x20, 14x22, with matching 5x14 Powertone in BDP
1967 Rogers Dynasonic in COB

Agree. That Dayton number is probably 1968 and the Fullerton 1970-71. Dan C or Ploughman can verify will a little more authority.

I thought Dayton's were more like 1966-67.......

Checked the dating guides. Apparently Powertones got Dayton tags through 1968, but the serial numbers ranged 18xxx-21xxx, so this one in question is probably 1967, not 1968.
