At the bottom of the 1968 Catalog section on the new VDF Ludwig Standard page, there's a list of the drums that were available in the line back then.

It has a list of 'SINGLE HEADED MODELS" that starts with a NO. S-114 - 5 1/2" x 8" - 4 lug tom.
I also see that these are NOT in the 1971 catalog.

I'm curious as to whether anyone has ever seen any of these single headed models in real life - especially the 8" tom.
I can't help but to wonder if a 8" x 5-1/2" Gold Strata single headed tom with matching interior exists. It seems like a real unicorn of a vintage drum - perhaps some of the rarest Stratas of all, in any color.
Boy, I'd love to find one of those Yes Sir
