Hello!
Johan from Sweden here!
As an avid drummer and collector of all sort of things I was glad when I found this snare.
It´s an old brass Sonor snare in pretty good condition apart from the snare mechanism is missing. The old calf skins (which I suppose they is?) with wooden support rings is still left on it.
I have yet to find any information about these drums. Sonor HQ could not provide much more info then it was from the beginning of the -30´s. I know there is an unofficial Sonor homepage with alot of old broshures that helped me find the putative date of manufacturing.
As more of these old snare must have been on topic before I hope anyone of you guys could maybe fill in the gaps. I would love to try to restore it in some way to its former glory but I would not do anything before knowing what I´m doing..
Any input about value or information is appreciated!
Cheers,
J
