Before and after 1930s Ludwig 4 x 14

Hello...it's been awhile, I hope everyone is doing well.

I thought you guys might dig before and after shots of a snare I just finished a little repair and cleaning on...and 'cause, you know...what's the point of doing things if you're not going to broadcast them on the internet?

Thanks guys!

Mike, I had to buy all new clips. It's hard to see in the before photo (and I couldn't tell from the photos I saw before buying) but all of the clips were broken and peeling apart when I took the drum apart.

They came from The Vintage Drum Center and I buffed the heck out of them.

You did as best as you possibly could. Nice. 1930s is a loooong time ago. Back when Moe, Larry and Curly ruled the silver screen..
