Strange Request for a Snare

Posts: 593 Threads: 43

I'm looking to buy a snare drum that is date stamped July 1951. Any American made company, in ANY color or size.

I know this is a very odd request but here is why:

My mom was born in July if 1951 and she is approaching the big six O (I know still a little over a year left but I figure this will take some time to find a drum stamped in an exact month almost 60 years ago) She has been a huge inspiration to me as a person and as a drummer. So I would like to get a drum from the same month that she was born in, to pay homage to her every time I play.

Strange request I know but if any of you have a snare that fits the description let me know.

Cool idea! You might inquire about this one http://cgi.ebay.com/LEEDY-LUDWIG-1951-MAPLE-SNARE-MINT-VINTAGE-CLASSIC-/180516436675?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Drums_Percussions_MJ&hash=item2a079e3ac3

No pics of the date stamp, so not sure of the month, but a real beauty of a snare.

Good look! I just inquired about the stamp, got a 1/12 chance of it being July haha.

I'm a Slingerland guy as well, so secretly I'm hoping for a BDP Radio King to waltz my way from July 1951 lol. Gotta say tho that looks like a great drum so I won't be upset if it is from July of 51, and its in a wrap she would like more than the BDP haha.

Well the guy selling that snare already had it packed up and ready to ship before the auction was over so wasn't able to tell me if it was from July of 51. Lame So for now, the search continues...
