I have two 40s snares and a 40s outfit....

Do you have pics, Kev?

Cheers

Have a couple Leedy Ludwig...but not Leedy specifically. The New Era was purchased off of eBay, and the other from poppies. Both sport a 5410 stamp. The New Era is what it turned out like after the detail. There is some fade, but the lighting hides it in the photo.

Here are some of my Leedys....

A few more....

I have downsized the size of my drum collection as we downsize our lives in our downsized retirement cottage. I have kept a 1963 Leedy Shelly Manne Black Diamond Pearl drum set (9x13, 16x16, 14x20, matching Shelly Manne 5x14 snare). I've also kept a 1958 or 1959 Pink Glass Glitter Shelly Manne 5x14 snare. I'm not parting with set of rescued orphans that I rewrapped in 3D White Moire (pre-World War Two Leedy 7x11, early 1950's Leedy 12x16 marching tenor drum conversion to floor tom, 1960's Slingerland 16x18 floor tom conversion to bass drum with Leedy lugs). After I had completed that little bop drum set, I came across a snare that was destined to be with this set. It's a Camco 5x14 Tuxedo snare with its original 3D White Moire wrap.

20/14/12/ with 5x14 Joe Harris brass snare, natural maple finish,1965.

1962 Leedy 14x18/14x14/8x12. This set came to me wearing a cheap green wrap and when removed I discovered the walnut veneer beneath. Bass drum hoops are non-original solid maple. I had the veneer cleaned up by a furniture restoration specialist and plan to keep them in this state as a salute to their history. I'll always wonder what wrap they originally wore!

Here's my Leedy "Frank Capp" snare drum, wrapped in original Green Satin Flame.
