Very cool.

Ya just gotta love all those budding drummers here in California. The sixties and seventies were huge for music store sales everywhere, but here it was exponential. I picked up the blue sparkle kit at a yard sale for $60.00. It's nearly restored. The painted over green sparkle Slingerland kit was had for $50.00 and included vintage cymbals and stands. It came from c/l. Click on my sig for pix. No detail shots yet, but will be soon. I'm in the middle of the state. Down where Mikey777 is, things should be even better. Very cool snare BTW!

I don't know which is more bizarre - that you got it for $25 or that some other drummer looked at a Ludwig snare for $25 and said "Na...".

Probably the latter.

I've noticed a funny thing in life is that the stuff I've bought for dirt cheap or was even free tends to be great and the stuff I pay a lot for turns out to be garbage.

[COLOR="Gray"]Yeah, well C'list is the place where these things happen...that, and garage sales (and occasionally dumpsters, too)....

Nice score.[/COLOR]

Ya know, my mom was an estate sale guru. Over the years she learned which would likely produce value, and who would be her competition at certain sales, by simply the family name, or the area of the state in which it was held. She was an antique dealer/collector in "The Old South", from VA to SC, we would rummage estates, and over the years she found more ultra rare treasure in the $1, & $5 "pickup boxes" than you can imagine. I learned that lesson as well, and living in the oil patch has been barren hunting for me over the years. Wonder why....? I really don't wonder, it's a little sarcasm, I know living in the old south where families would live for generation upon generation, finally some old spinster culminating the end of a line...and all that stuff in those Victorian homes would represent time immemorial from perhaps the 1600-1700's. Amazing educational value as well.
