Just won this from one of my favorite bargain stores-Daddy's Junky Music in Salem,NH.Doesn't look un restorable-and tall rims.This is my first Vintage MIJ metal snare-what metal-I don't know.
1968 Pearl 8 lugger
Well, this is either an early Pearl Sensitone/Mirror Chrome, or an early model 3256 Star.

That said, you will have to wait until you get it in hand and get me some really good shots. It is 98% gonna be COS. And if you take time to tune it and buy some new heads, it will ring out like a bell, and a really nice range will it have to boot.

There is another snare in this set of pix as well that looks like your new toy, on the bottom set. And LaBoz, as far as I can tell, are Star...but then again, we are not positive about that.....

I think this is an earlier Pearl snare. To me, the shape of the adjustment knobs on the snare strainer and muffler give it away.
As for the La Boz set, I am starting to think, as we know that the oval badges are Star's, that the Rogers style script lettering are all Pearl's. Pearl ovbviously had the chrome script badge, La Boz had it as shown in the above link, and Lido Supreme also had it (as shown on the snare drum on 2ndending.) If I'm right, this proves that Lido Supreme drums were made by both Pearl and Star at times, as were Apollo and Stewart.

Yeah, but then looking at Dixie and Crown, they are looking like Star too. This gets so damned....head scratchy sometimes...There is a Crown page that has both types, Pearl and Star mounts on the bass.... http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/images/my_collection/literature/crown/crown.jpg
