Let's see. ....maybe left behind by R.A.F. members of the B.C.A.T.P. " Victory Orchestra". Some of them , very popular lads with the ladies of Manitoba , I would hazard a guess. ...... perhaps the finish could be described, at some point anyway, as Pearl Necklace?

Concert toms! I assume this kit is much older than 50s only.

Have you checked this site? http://www.drumarchive.com/Premier

The Deco lugs denote 1930's,but they could have used the same lug for 30 years a la Ludwig..

The badge looks old Skool though....fo sho

The double ended lugs are the same as on the '37 Dominion Ace. Premier used them on Olympic, subsequent, to their discontinuance on Premier, late 30's and 40's------maybe even into the 50's.
