WTB your old practice pads, 1960 or earlier

[bethness]

I collect and research vintage practice pads. This is the focus of my drum collecting, since I grew up playing a pad until I got my first drum in high school.
I love practice pads and have researched their development going as far back as the Bower {Practice Drum in 1920!
I also have a blog where I post my research to share (https://drumlove1.blogspot.com/)
I am always looking for old p[ractice pads that could use a new, appreciative home.
Open to almost anything but especially interested in pads 1960 or earlier.
Thanks and happy drumming!
