The phenomenon is the result of the Prop Stream, a wind current below the Jet Steam that moves air from East to West. It was first discovered by the Wright Brother in their work in the Outer Banks and is now host to many Cessna style aircraft. The relationship between the Prop and Jet Stream produces convection pulling moisture from the Atlantic and rebounding off the Appalachians. This environment is prime for bending and shaping wood. Ludwig and Gretsch have know this for years. Unfortunately, Ludwig quickly learned about the negative impact on Ludaloy shells imported from the Midwest.What in the world leads you to believe that the blistering is caused by moving a drum from a fresh to salt water environment????
Further, since when has Monroe been moved from SW NC to the coast?????? Your "theory" has zero basis in fact!
I purchased it on DFO for $112.50, replaced the heads, wires, strainer (P86), and hoops and eventually sold it for $200. It sounded like any Supra I’ve played. The pictures are of the drum when I owned it. For historical value, it did not have internal Ludaloy stamp/markings or the blue Ludwig sticker.@drumtimejohn ...Are these pictures of a late Chicago era snare that you own?
I would like to archive them...

This thread has it all!
Or a “top 10” list!For sure. Now if only a poll could be fit in here somewhere to top it all off....................
Yes. Looks cheap. A sad ending.That's called zero pride in your work
I’d have to agree; faking an 80s Supra would be akin to faking a Timex watch.It's neither a collectible nor is it any more valuable than a standard drum from that time period. Mainly because it's trivial to fake it.

What are you? I was offered $300 for them when the listing began.Perhaps it’s the ethics police primarily reflecting the changing of parts and posts (edit/delete), as well as, misrepresentation of the drum not it’s price. Yet if it helps I’m tracking 1299, 899, 449, and now 499. The hoops are likely half the value and those could be had for $150 shipped on DFO this year.
Thanks. Will do. Right now, It now says "among the last." This guy is acting like some kind of a stawk...er.You have a late chicago built supra. You might want to change the title from “confirmation of last” to “very late” to get less flack. There is zero reason to believe this drum was the last out of Chicago and since there would be a collector mark up if such a thing were true, or prove able, feathers get ruffled

You've taken over this thread, been stupid and judgemental.
Nobody misrepresented anything ...I just asked a question.
I need some help, here! You're following me like a Proctologist...
We’re all strangers on the internet nerding out about drums. Lets try to keep the personal stuff to a minimumThanks. Will do, This guy is some kind of a stawk..er
Good point! I sincerely apologize to all concerned.We’re all strangers on the internet nerding out about drums. Lets try to keep the personal stuff to a minimum
