The 10 lug 1930's drum is not a Radio King. Probably an Artist 10 - tube lug design that ran up to 1938. Probably a re-wrap as I...

Nice find Rich. Black/silver transition badge with expected four digit serial dates this to exactly 1970. Are the hoops COS or COB?

Late '63 to mid '64 would be expected to have the 1st Keystone serialized badge without the registered trademark (R) logo and serials...

The small tom with staggered lugs is interesting, wonder what the Rogers experts have to say about that?
