I do believe you can still order it.... :)

Thermglass or nitrocellulose finish is still available as a product to this day. Are you looking for the years thermoglass finishes were put on drums?

Thanks for the replies Mike T and Ludwig4870. I was actually looking for the finishes and dates it was used on ludwig drums. I just picked up a set of Ludwigs and trying to figure out what finish it is. I know they are 1984-85

anniversary badge. I have a catalog but it doesn't seem to have this color available. It is a natural finish (not natural maple,red mahogany or walnut). I also have a Red Mahogany set from that year and I took a picture with the 2 side by side to see if someone could give me some insight to what the color might be. it is a Maple shell. Consists of 2- 16x22 bass drums, 10x14 6lug tom,

12x15 8lug tom, and a 16x18 floor. It looks to me to have a sunburst effect. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Is it possible someone stripped the covering off and refinished them? I have numerous thermoglass drums but they are all maple in color.

your kit is not thermogloss it is a cherry stain finish look at this scan. http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/images/finishes/ludwig/1998_LUDWIG_FINISHES.jpg

Thanks vintagemore for the info. I think your right on the thermogloss finish but what is confusing me is the color. I didn't think they offered this color in 1984-85? anymore info would be great. it also looks like it could be the coral color that you sent in your link. the finish is not refinished as far as i can tell, if it is, it is a great job. the sizes are strange too, which makes me wonder if they were ordered with them sizes and also the hardware is hercules which i saw that you could order in 1984 anniversary issue. My other anniversary set is modular. Either way I now know it isn't thermogloss finish, but curious on the color. I'm sending a shot of the bass drum with the finish that looks like two tone just for the hell of it.
