What is this massively old snare drum? Last viewed: 7 hours ago

I'm guessing this is really early 20th century. The badge is missing. You can see where it was. Not quite enough there to read what it was.

I went through the gallery and didn't see anything remotely similar.

Anyway, does anyone have a clue what this old fella is?

thanks

That was my first thought as well. Looks similar to other Duplex drums.

I did some more digging and found a George B. Stone and Sons snare that looks like this drum and has the badge on the top rim where this drum has a spot where the badge used to be.

Either way it's a cool old drum, and I think I'm going to make it mine.
