Hey Tom, the wrap is almost certainly a Star wrap. They did some strange things for a very short time in the early days. This is a pre-67 3 ply shell. Let me know when you get it home. Nice wrap, man that is gorgeous! Kinda like the Peacock Pearl only WMP and looks fairly solid. Star did some copying of Ludwig and Gretsch at first but got slapped with lawsuits so they settled on the SoiundKing and Sonor copies because Bud Slingerland was too cheap to sue and the Germans I

think thought it was flattery, and they were moving away from the teardrop style anyway by this time so they let it go, I would assume because there are plenty of Apollo and Stewarts around with those on them.

I'm hesitant to pull the trigger.I like the wrap and the drum itself,but finding it's mates.....I've never even seen this color in this pattern before.Someone posted the black/grey version a while ago.Maybe Osaka has some comments.
