Rogers Mardi Gras Color variant

Posts: 63 Threads: 3

My apologies in advance.

I made a link to my post on another forum of what I have found regarding MG color variation of the Mardi Gras finish from Rogers.

Though its believed MG first came out in ‘58 (Steve Maxwell on YouTube talks about MG finish). I found in the ‘57 cat that the finish was in fact available as No. 953 'Sparkling' Mardi Gras Pearl. What’s interesting is, the color is not in the finish directory; but it’s a finish option for Holiday series only - which my drums are.

When the 1960 catalog came out, the color had changed simply to No. 1163 Mardi Gras Pearl:

I have tried to stage and format research on this forum, but picture limit placement was going to be a real effort.

Here’s the link:

I did post some additional pics here for members to view more clearly.

Thoughts or is this nuance widely known?

What size is the 2nd drum pictured? Any interior paper tag? Those lugs look close.
