Dayton era 20-13-14. I got about 20 years ago from original owner that purchased them new in late 60s at Kincades Music in Springfield Ohio and they are still an operating music store.

May just be an impression with no data to back it up, but it seems that BDP on a Rogers classic kit was somewhat of an unusual if not rare wrap? I see lots of Rogers in WMP and sparkles. There's something durably elegant about BDP wraps, at least to me.

Seems to me it's pretty common.

Beautiful Headliner outfit.
You should remove any more than two set screws in the ball and socket joint as it was designed for.
Any more than two works against the design and will eventually strip out the ball which is a softer metal than the set screws.
I'd hate to see any damage done to this beauty.

I once had a 20", 12“, 14" with a Powertone snare, all in silver sparkle.
I didn't realise at the time how extremely rare 14" Rogers floor toms were.
I loaned it to Mikey Roker for a gig with Milt Jackson and they both complimented me on it.
How foolish of me to have sold it at a time when I only had money for one drum kit at a time.

Unfortunately I have very few photos of it.
This photo shows me using it at a gig with the Great Guitars in 1996.
(The photo is from the rehearsal before the show; of course we all dressed up for the performance).
