I,d contact Sonor and ask if they know who may be interested in them. They may want them for their own museum to display German drum making back then.

Hit like you mean it!!

Lefima ist still on the market, but not as manufacturer of drum sets. They offer concert and marching percussion.

It is one of Germanys oldest drum makers, the link above might help to get some information.

From green glass drum

The Coconuts are called "Temple Blocks".

Most trap kits are 20`s, 30`s and 40`s.

From OddBall

Most trap kits are 20`s, 30`s and 40`s.

Yes, after researching today I think this kit is from the late 30's, early 40's.

Snare has the silk steel-wounded snares on it.
