A good friend brought over a 6-1/2 by 14 solid maple shell snare last night with 8 lugs on it (only).
I can see it took the early snare extenders that mount to the drum with 2 screws on each side.......instead of the later 3 per side.
Could this be a Broadcaster?
Shell has 2-3 coats of paint glopped on the outside.................
I have a friend that re-fins furniture,so I am going to have him do the dirty work of the stripping of the paint..........

The shell could be a "BC" shell.To bad the rims are missing..All the BC shells i have and have seen all were wrap not painted.Slingerland used these types of lugs in the 30's with out springs..Mikey
OK.....thanks Mikey...
prolly early 30's,right?
I tried putting brand new heads on last night........NO GO!
I am going to order some oversized Aquarians,see if they work.........

right-o,The drum would be from the early 30's it had calf heads on it at one time.I have many of these B.C. snare's -{just got one today at a swapmeet}-full dress model silver sparkle with red diamond's between the lugs its a late 30's tap lugs and it has a remo black dot head on top...he cool thing is that i have a 6.5x14 in the same finish now i have found the sisiter to it .The one i got today is a 5.5x14..Mikey
Mikey,
please post a pic of the snare you just got!...........Jumping2
I will have a member post it on this posting in a few days..By the way i paid 50.00 for it.Its clean condition,only missing the handle....Mikey
