I found Super Ludwig from 1923!

Posts: 5 Threads: 1

I think its in bad shape, I do not play drums or know about vintage drums, but I think it might have some value. I know ludwig is a popular brand, but I can't find anything on it. I have pictures if anyone wants to see-Leave your email here. I'm wondering what its worth as of now, and eventually looking to sell it.

I know its my first post, but I just googled "vintage drum forum" and you guys seemed like you are pretty knowledgable. I live in Oak Lawn, and I know Camco originated here. Just thought you'd like to know!

thanks for all the replies, if you're interested you can email me also at [email]troybert5@gmail.com[/email]

I'm no expert, but from your photo that drum looks great and very salvageable to me unless the shell is badly damaged.

Anyone else see something different?

Just curious...how do you know it's a 1923?

Is that a wrap or is it "stipple gold"?

Yeah...I think it's worth a LOT more than $200. To the right collector, might be ten times that amount! I THINK it looks like a Ludwig finish called "Stipple gold" which was some kind of weird metallic paint that was supposed to resemble gold flake. Most examples of this stipple gold finish that I have seen are almost all worn off. But I can't really tell from that picture. Mike Curotto knows way more than I about this drum.
