Dating a Ludwig Shell
I recently found a 14" Ludwig floor tom shell that I'm trying to date. When I found it, it had been poorly re-wrapped with a wood veneer so I removed it to find the remnants of a black/gold duco paint job. Under the paint job is maple but the inside was factory painted white. No date stamp. From my research, Ludwig started painting the interiors white around '61 and continued through to '68. It's a bit confusing though because I thought the white interior era was also the mahogany era so why the maple? And I can't find a timeline for the gold/black duco paint jobs. Anyone know when Ludwig stopped offering ducos? If it helps, the shell is a clubdate.
