I've had three Leedy snares that I recall. The first was a 6 lug NOB 6.5x14 tube lug model that been hot rodded a bit with different hoops and strainer. Then I found an engraved 24ish 5x15 Multi Model Classic, later called Black Elites. Only 5x15 that I had run across and also the only one that I had seen with this pattern. And also an early 5x14 6 lug nob model.

Here's my 1940 gold sparkle kit with a Broadway Standard snare. The tacked resonate heads need replacing, but otherwise it's in excellent condition.

Here are some pictures of my May 1966 Leedy, a Shelly Manne in Blue Agate Pearl.

The pictures are from when I acquired it and since then I have replaced the Cast Rims with 60's COB Leedy rims. Took me a long time to find this finish and it look fantastic in person. Definitely one of my favorites.
