[COLOR="DarkRed"]If it's a nice weight...say between 800-1100g...probably about $250-75.

If heavier, not so much...

Market values used to be higher...a year ago you could probably get $325-75 on eFlay. But those days are over....

example:

...this is INSANE...a very thin, very old 15 WITH the paper tag and signature and NO damage...for only $201 !!!! Someone committed highway robbery on this one...in plain daylight, to boot.

I think you could get well more than that....[/COLOR]

Hi Alan,

That's what's called an "Intermediate stamp" by Bill Hartick from the early 60's. If you don't have an offer from someone over here you should try selling it at ebay.

Good luck!

ps: Also, that one was part of a hihat set. See the markings on the underside?

[COLOR="DarkRed"]1200 grams isn't the BEST weight for an old K 15. It is kinda heavy. Won't have much use other than for a bottom hi-hat.

....nevertheless, if it's in good shape and it does have the signature...maybe $160-220 or so.....

(would be worth more if it had been 150g lighter)[/COLOR]
