Well... Not sure. It looks like tapped 1935-36 L & L Imperial lugs but the slotted screws tell me European. It's interesting if those lugs are copies of the Ludwig tapped lugs of the 1935-36 era as they would have had a better option of using lug inserts ala Leedy. The shell also has that angled bead to accommodate the notched "Imperial" lugs. Is there a way to check if the attachment screw etc are metric? That would be tell us more. The collar hooks also look European. And there's that weird strainer...just the type of quirky snare that fascinates me. Those are my thoughts.

So far,

It could be an early Beverly. I found a 30`s Beverly with the same square bead, same lugs cut to fit, same T-rods,.. But lacks the throw and clips of the newer one shown here.

Notice it has multiple drilling for the second inside snare and the dampers. Yours has factory holes with something missing.

Not written in stone yet But it`s looking like Beverly to me. Only square bead shell I can find, is Beverly early years.

The larger of the three holes was probably to accommodate the cord of a bulb/heating element for the original calf heads. If you look inside the bulb and base may still be there.

Mr. Shuffle,

I think the larger hole is from lamp parts that hold up the light fixture.

I think the 2 insulated green holes are for the hot and neutral wires of a plug/cord.

Just guessing.

Drums from the "Calf Head" era are so interesting.

Thanks for your thoughts all, I have passed them on to the owner.

Beverley would make the most sense.

Best,

James
