Hi all,
Have been away for awhile...hope all are well..
Just aquired this completely original (except heads) Leedy 5.5X14 WMP snare date stamped 1948. Does anyone know the model?
I plan on starting the resto today. It has all NOB hardware. It could be a real looker when finished. I may have paid too much? $285.? Could not help but notice that the "new" Leedy produces the Broadway model in WMP. I prefer the vintage version to the new though because it has all that history and character attached to it. The new Leedy's seem to carry a much heftier price tag than the true vintage models. Why is that?
But still, a real classic and it will be a pleasure to bring her new life!
