It really warms my heart (and wallet!) to see NOS pieces like this, especially the NYC BOE stuff that potentially would have been trashed a long time ago, and of course since I own a BOE drum and was educated in the NYC public school system.PLUS, it's a six-lug drum. It's ALL good! Clapping Happy2
I am amazed to see NOS drums survive the NYC school system. Don't know how this one survived - essentially unused.
I didn't go to school in NYC, but I did go to school about a mile up the road from where the drum was made (Covington) and was probably in about the 3rd grade at the time.
We owe a debt of gratitude to whoever purchased these 6.5" drums for the school system.
