I've got an opportunity to purchase a late 1930s Super Ludwig, and was hoping for some input regarding the drum.
It's a "full-dresser", but it doesn't appear that the years have been very kind to the finish, as it appears to be quite yellowed. Also, I am concerned about what appears to be a white painted interior. Was that the norm during this period? The guy mentioned that it was restored many years ago, and the tension rods were replaced but he still has the originals.
I'm planning on going to look at the drum over the weekend. The guy is asking $750 for it. Is that reasonable? I have no experience with drums this old, as I mainly focus on 1960s and 70s drums. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
