I believe they are pre-1958 Slingerlands.

PERFECT Thank you. I thought they might be old LUDWIGS. Never thought of SLINGERLAND. Again thanks to both of you.

The two in the upper left photo ARE Ludwigs; the rest are Slingerland. Take a closer look and you will notice that these two are different in that the claw arms taper down right to the bottom of the shaft. The Slingerlands have a completely different taper.

Those Ludwig claws match my Ludwig&Ludwig parade drums perfectly.
