Looking for a Oaklawn winged style badge for a Camco snare drum I trying to bring back to life and complete another kit. I know they are on Ebay but most are from the "strippers" and plus I hope not to give up a kidney or some limb just to get a badge at the prices they are asking. Anyone have one reasonably priced or know of any?
Thanks
Myron

Do you have anymore of those? Need to replace one with the ends torn off on a tuxedo snare.
Thanks
Another one needed here, please!

NOT mine...........
Wow! The white enamel is completely gone from that ebay badge and they still want close to $40 for it!

Easily fixed with a few coats of spray enamel but, yes, insanely expensive for a pressed bit of brass.
Antipodes. Im curious how you'd fix it with a few coats of enamel. How do you get the letters not to be painted of they're that small?
You spray a few coats then very gently go over the raised lettering with some 0000 steel wool or other light abrasive. The letters come back to original brass, everything else stays white. The paint is less stable than actual enamelling. I've never actually bothered with the one I did but a quick coat of some high gloss clear lacquer would probably protect it.
Depends how obsessive you are. This may not be the right place to talk about lack of obsession though.
