Any ideas what this Snare drum is?

So just by looking at the two pics close, I`m 95% that snare and stand are SONOR both can be found in their catalogs but a photo show in good lighting with the top hoop off, could nail it.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

I have a Walberg & Auge snare that looks very similar but not an exact match. It is from 1909. There are a bunch of possibilities, many companies that only made drums for a decade or so... Lyon & Healey? They would stamp drums on the inside of the shell. Dare you take the head off to see if there is a name?

I have got to agree with OddBall that it definately looks like that Sonor. Especially when looking at the tension wing nuts and snare mech...

Interesting drum! Some of the old Boosey and Hawkes drums had that tension rod design with the wingnuts, so it could be one of those?
