Re stamping the date?

Posts: 188 Threads: 15

From poppy79424

I have a 69 Ludwig Silver Sparkle kit with double kick and 7 toms. Most of them (interiors) have been painted twice. ONe of the kicks has a clear lacquer finish. I have thought about stripping to the bare wood, but decided to paint them the granitone finish. I didn't even think about stamping dates. I have been putting this project off for too long. This kit belonged to a friend that passed away. I know the whole history about the 2 coats of interior paint. I dont think it will increase the value of the drum. Once the interior has been painted it kills the value to collectors, but who ever sells anything? I don't! LOLThe silver sparkle is on the left of the pic.

Haha that's how I think. I act like ill never sell anything. I maybe thought you'd sell something till I saw that picture! Dang!!!!! I love your black oyster pearl kit!

>> Here is a pic of the pre serial stamp.

Thanks,

What is the size? If you don't care about an exact font match. Couple of choices.

Staples or Office Depot should have rolling date stamps that you can set to anything. Other places I can check if you don't see anything to your liking.

I have these attachments already done can trim them to make any month/date/year.

What day and year did you want? I'll build a sample. Have NOV done but can't read the rest.

Exact font and spacing match would be a custom deal.

No matter what direction you chose to go, will want to use stamping ink that is set with low heat. Can help with that if needed.

Hey Jordanlawrence,

Okay you get the beta of DEC 20 1960 and JAN 03 1961 :-).

These letters are 3/8" tall.

PM your address and what color of ink you want. Will send stamps, ink and instructions. Should ship Fri. Please review this product and let me know where improvements are needed.

Thanks!!
