and some more

the top one is a 20's Ludwig. it appears to be a heavy shell model, 2 piece brass shell. I see 8 lugs,which is desirable. if its a 5x14, then its probably what the called the all around model. looks to be very in very nice condition. these are pretty sought after. depending on condition, i'd say its in the 700 range.

thank you for the information. I thought it was 20s but didn't know for sure. hopefully these will be my first snares older than a transition badge. also, if anyone knows, how old is that leedy foot pedal?

its supposed to be as nice as it looks in the pics and it is sized 4x15.

Does the larger one say Pat. Pending on the throw lever ?

the Ludwig does. the lever is in the upright position in all the pics I have of the 3 liner so I cant see. should be getting back with the seller within the hour. any specific question I should ask?

Your pedal is Leedy's Direct Stroke "Professional Pedal", with the "Relax" footboard. It's listed under their product developments between 1930 - 1942.

youre gonna like the 4x15. don't see as many of those. I love 'em. that's the concert dance model.

The larger snare appears to be a late 20s - early 30s Slingerland Professional. I could be wrong about the model name. The double bead on the shell is pretty cool. Not sure of the value, but it's not very common. It looks like you're missing part of the strainer, which is typical. The parts show up on ebay sometimes for a small fortune. I made that same part for my old Slingerland.
