Can I ask to what makes you come to this conclusion or confusion?? just looking for your theory?
1930s snare ... help with ID ??
take a look at this 30's model, like we discussed the rims look the same, the rim clips look the same, but the strainer?? No way!! also the t-rods on yours are not slingerland,nor are the bolts or cup washers inside the shell, or the throwoff? http://cgi.ebay.com/1930s-Slingerland-Universal-Model-5x14-Snare-Drum-/250674868663?pt=Vintgae_Drums_Percussion
Is it possible the shell could be solid nickle?
:)
it's not like any nickel that I've seen before, the shell is very light weight!
The sure-grip is out of the picture, as there are only two mounting holes in the shell.
Remember, this strainer is incomplete.....
So the drum has to be something that used a 2-point strainer with a horizontal mounting pattern.
The only one I can find is the Junior, which, if it has a 1 inch distance between the holes, might be the correct strainer for the shell...... which would make it a Slingerland shell.
Page 182 in the Rob Cook Slingerland book states the Universal had the Junior strainer until 1934, when it was replaced with the Shur-Grip... also, the shell went from a 3-bead to a single bead that year.
I vote it's a drum!
...ok...I'll go back in my hole now....

JagsOn an off-note.... could you post a shot of the throw-of on your Slingerland Junior snare, please?I have a "mystery snare" I'm trying to confirm the date/maker of....Here's the item's thread........ Link.............Maybe post the pic there ??ThanksKev
I installed a Slingerland 3 point strainer on my customized Slingerland Junior snare drum. It didn't have a strainer and the hole paterns for what was on it was unrecognizable. I had to fill in the holes. However I do have a pic of a Junior Strainer that I saw on an ebay auction awhile back. Here it is. Hope that helps.

Thanks Jags !!!
This, I think lends some validity to my suspicion that the drum is a Universal shell from just before they switched the strainer to a Shur Grip.
