A Very Lucky Saturday - Trans Badge Ludwig Find

All you guys are correct. The snare and all hoops are COB. The bass is a 14"x20" as well. The tims are natural mahogany interior and the bass is natural maple interior. Here's the snare shell after being cleaned.

Can you post pics of the inside of the drums please....this is amazing!

I'll try to snap some here in the next couple of days. They're exceptionally clean all around and all have red date stamps from October of '59.

This is such a cool drumset. It's got so many things right, not the least of which is that snare. I'm lobbying for leaving the bass hoops as is; I think it adds a lot to the appearance. IAC, i'm happy for you; a tremendous score.....marko

Here's a quick shot of the interior of the floor tom. It looks like it's actually maple. I was shocked at how clean it is on the inside. Born with the other drums in '59.

That's a beautiful kit and you did an ace of a job cleaning it up.
Congrats on your latest grab. -b
