I want to introduce myself as a new member here. I'm from Ohio and fairly new to vintage drum collecting, I have a 1920s 28x14" Leedy bass drum with original calf heads and a pair of 1920s Leedy pedal timpani (I'm out of town right now so don't have any photos to share). I am looking to get a snare drum and other necessary hardware to put together a complete Leedy trap set. I am a drummer myself, but also use the drums for pit work when producing and directing historic operetta productions. I find that you can't get the same sound with modern equipment and it adds authenticity to the performance using vintage drums.

I'm looking to find scans or photocopies of 1900s-1920s Leedy catalogues so I can better identify and date my current drums as well as any Leedy equipment from the era for sale.
