Hey Friends...just throwing this out there in case anyone is interested. Looking to trade this rare 1950 6 1/2" x 14" Ludwig Deluxe snare for a 1940's Leedy Broadway of same wrap, size and comparable condition. I just picked up a '49 Leedy 3-piece kit and would love to have the matching Leedy snare. This Ludwig will match just fine, but having an all Leedy kit would be even better! Description of my snare below.

It is a 6 1/2" x 14" 1950 Ludwig & Ludwig Deluxe snare in original White Avalon finish in pretty good condition with only a couple of hairline cracks (in the wrap only, pictured below), maybe about 1/2" long. Hardware is NOB with original stick chopper hoops, Imperial lugs and tension rods, although I am missing the original strainer. It had a couple of extra holes in the panel where the original strainer would be mounted, so I added a modified P-83 to make the snare playable. The snare extensions are also not original, but work for this drum. Edges are nice and it is painted white on the inside with '5001' stamped on the inside. Tone control is also in place, although the felt is missing.

Thanks!

Aaron
