I picked these up this morning and I'm psyched to dig in. Attached are some pics of what I gather are late 30's to early 40's WFL's with a late 40's snare. 9x13 tacked bottom calf tom and 14x16 tacked bottom calf floor tom with maple interiors, 14x28 kick and 7x14 snare. Not sure if this was an actual catalog kit with added snare or what?
Also not sure the kick drum is a WFL at all. Any ideas? It's pretty beat up, with a bunch of plugged holes and no badge. But with some work , I think it'll be a good sounding players kit. Ill know more once the covering comes off.
All the drums were recovered in Sparkle Brite covering, which will be removed promptly. I'm thinking I'll be stripping these down to bare wood and re-painting/lacquering.
Any insight as to what may or may not seem right to you here, and how I should go about refinishing... please let me know.
