Looks to be Japanese to me. Anyone know the brand? I would think this strainer shot would tell all..

Looks to be an early Star stencil. Can I see the other side? Also, I would like a peek inside as well, if you don't mind. The wood type will make it easier as well.

No.

Never were produced similar as this one.

Quoted post

Yes, it's most correct.

But rusted cap of strainer's bracket looks as "Made In Garage".

Yes, true.

These hoops have an identical stick-save construction also as old Sling, Sonor, Trowa, Tacton, Tromsa and some old MIJ too.

OK, I had a WMP Snare with those same lugs and re-rings. Mine came with an archaic 4 point, similar to an old Slingerland. The muffler was missing, but I assume, from the spacing, it was likely the same as this one, which is, again, a Slingerland copy.

Does the strainer work as it should? And I am at a loss now, as I cannot say for sure if it is Star or Pearl, or perhaps Gracy. I have an entire WMP kit, from which I am almost certain that snare was the original, since they came from the same source, in the same geographic area, and appear to be faded at the same rate and seem to have matching wrap and the lugs would seem to match the other drums.
