Slingerland 4 piece in Albuquerque CL

The ad says 60s but the lugs look older to me, I'm no Slingy expert but I know what the modern lugs looked like.

The snare damage doesn't look good :(

Not a Slingy expert but looks a bit pricey to me given the condition. The snare might be able to be "undented" but it will have ripples. Slinky experts . . . ???

No Guru - I just love collecting & learning about vintage drums!

Some of my favorites from the kits in the collection
58 WFL New Yorker Blue Sparkle
67 Ludwig Hollywood Red Psychedelic
69 Ludwig Standard Red Ruby Strata

That "mishmosh" is worth less than 1/2 the asking price. Wrong rims, aftermarket FT legs and mounts, bent snare drum. That FT was supposed to be a "mounted" drum, or on a basket. The only good thing is the WMP is matching fade.

This non-set is also on eBay and has been for a while now (item #222515741173). Bass drum is '64-'65 and appears unmolested. frantic freddy is correct, the toms look to be pre '55 Radio Kings with mahogany interiors, wide re-rings, and early style WMP wrap. As teverson-sr pointed out the toms have a myriad of issues. FT also has a least one Ludwig lug casing and some extra holes. The snare is an early 80's. Probably should sell as individual pieces or parts.
