I just scored a neglected 1965 WMP jazz fest snare. Looks original but is missing wires/muffler. Serial # is 198K. I got a shot of the inside and it has 2 date stamps - red and black. Red looks like Sept. 8, 1965, and black looks like Sep. 9 ??? Never seen two stamps before. The red ink and font looks right but I thought red was phased out by 1965. I had a red stamp from Oct. 60 (transition) and have a Pioneer with a normal black 1965 date stamp. The black font looks all wrong.
I could not find other posts to explain this and haven't seen this before. Any insight would be appreciated. The drum is very dirty and needs a lot of TLC but I thought the double dates made it that much more interesting....thanks!
