This is one of those "Come On, Man!" moments. T'aint Ludwig.
BAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAA!!!! "The shells have no serial numbers on them so I believe it’s a pre 1963 kit." THAT'S HILARIOUS!!!!
Alright you snobs......the owner misspelled the listing.It is a pre-CEREAL kit.This means it was made BEFORE you could send for the set with the coupon from the CEREAL box.Post Luan-Flakes.
But really-the only brand name to be found is on the HH pedal board.Unless they are Remo sound-king drum head only drums....
Maybe they are a "Lugwig".
I once had a radio that was a "Pasanomic"....

Yes. The hi hat does look like a Ludwig 1123-1 and it would say Ludwig on the pedal. At least the seller didn't say the drum kit was a Spur-Lok model. ;)
It looks identical to a set i had as a kid!!i remember mine had fairly large badges that said Telestar.i dont think they are worth 750 but im very curious as to the hats!!they dont look like cheap brass ones,it looks like bronze w some nice patina.OMG what the heck is that on the kickside head,a big long basketball sock from the 70s???that must kill any possible ring the head may have.Kleening
Hmph, amusing at best, but for what it's worth thats actually a really nice kit! It'd probably be a great clean up project, but 750...
INCLUDING the 1123, I would give, maybe, on a nice, sunny day, 75.00. And I actually like them. But as for cleaning them, they are a chore, and then sanding the edges smooth, man....uhgg, just the thought of it makes me shiver.
I did email him and tell him the truth, as did probably 100 other people. I am sure this guy has had several emails about this kit NOT being a Ludwig today....
I'm trying to figure out why there is a lug on the INSIDE of the tom shell....?
