Hi all, I've just bought a Fibes snare, mind you I had to buy it piece by piece. I bought the shell + lugs with a lot of snares and I bought the hoops, strainer, butt plate and wires separately. I'm hoping I didn't overpay. I'm probably going to sell it on now that it's fully original and was wondering what would be a ballpark price on a drum like this now fully original and complete. It's a 5.5 x 14 black acrylic shell (black beauty?) with the of Martin Organization Nazareth Pennsylvania badge. Any information would be great!
Price check on Fibes snare
None showing up in Ebay sold listings right now, but I've got a couple of these Fibes acrylic snares from the same era (the solid black were called 'Black Beauty') and I'd say $400 - $450 assuming it's in very good shape.
I'd suggest you keep it.... they have a truly unique sound when tuned right.

Thanks for the reply. I might just keep it for myself after all. I can't wait to get it set up so I can finally hear it. The strainer, hoops etc. are in the post. I'll take some photos of the snare when it's fully complete.
