SCORE . 1920's Time capsule leedy + Slingerland

Posts: 161 Threads: 52

Just picked these up , Im pretty sure the white drums are leedy. not 100% , the chrome snare says slingerland on the calf . All calfs are great shape , a lot of really mint nickel hardware not sure leedy or slingerland, funky bass pedal. Cool canvas bag, the white drums really look to have low miles...

Anyone have any info based on these photos?? Much appreciated !

The tension rods on the bass drum look Leedy!

Could very well be a Leedy bass drum. Are there any markings on the center washers on the bass drum? I have a 1941 Ludwig bass drum that has the same water faucet tension rods.

thanks ! So I've gathered the white drums are definately Leedy , appear to be mahogany with maple rings and center ring , pretty cool !!

pretty neat foot pedal... some accessory clip on stuff i havn't seen before

The chrome snare is interesting, 6 lug , lower calf says Slingerland sensitone calf . throw i havn't seen before... flat head tension rods what you guys think?
