George Way 1918 snare drum

[hangjohnny]

99 years ago George Way followed his true love up to Edmonton Canada.
While He was there He made a few drums using Leedy parts .
He must have been serious about production , as He named His project
Advance drum company , and created a badge with this name .
Inside the snare He has printed in pen the advance drum company 8/20/18 Edmonton alta. Canada .
I am not sure if this post belongs in the USA drum thread , or the non USA thread , as it was built by the most recognized name in USA drums .
forum members please correct Me if I am wrong here , but I believe this could be the only George Way wood snare drum in existence .
I will attempt to post pictures soon , but thought I would get some feedback in the meantime .
