Nice thread and a beautiful drum set! Here are my own WFL Drums. Not a legitimate kit, but some nice drums nonetheless. 14 x 20 Bass Drum with a 9 x 13 rack Tom. I don't think the 14" x 20 was ever offered with 8 x 12 and 14 x 14 toms, but I could be wrong. I believe the 14 x 20 bass drum was sold with a Buddy Rich Super Classic snare drum and marketed as the "Traveler Combo" or something like this. The rail consolette may have been added later to this drum.

9 x 13 is more yellowed than the bass drum and I believe it's an earlier WFL drum as the WMP is the earlier type.

I gave up looking for a WFL floor tom in WMP. Ideally I would like 8 x 12 and 14 x 14 WFL toms in WMP to go with that bass drum, but that's asking way too much.

Pictured is a Ludwig keystone badge 68 floor tom in walnut.

It's something else! I've not seen another set like it. I noticed you have the same reso head as mine with the WFL decal. Although mine is a 20" I was never sure if this head was from the 40's / 50's or if it was just a calf skin that somebody put a decal on. It's good to see another one. So, I can assume these are original WFL reso heads? Great!
