I checked and they called that model the "drum solo outfit no:12"... It retailed @ $620 incl. the snare and hardware. I will go and grab them tomorrow and post pictures.

Hi drumfx!

This is pretty much the same as the Slingerland Modern Solo 2R. I always loved that kit! The Leedy kit uses Slingerland 3-ply shells with rings and COB hoops on the toms. Hope you get the kit and can post pictures!

$650.00 in 1960 had the same buying power as $5,229.29 in 2016! If it was selling today it would rival high end kits from DW price-wise.

Sweetest thing about those is the original bass head. Love the logo!
