500 or BO. It would bring close to that on ebay.

I notice that too, a shame too, that's an early one...

Here is a little known hint that is a wonderful trick. If you are running IE 7 or 8, look in the lower right hand corner of your browser. You should see some numbers represented as a percentage and a drop down arrow next to it. You can adjust the zoom on virtually anything with this handy little tool. And yes, the ser. # on that drum is compromised, well, filed off completely, not compromised. Could be a bit uncomfortable to the touch, if you know what I mean......

I was pretty sure of that when I first looked at it........... but ...... from the zoom, I just wasnt really sure, so I edited my initial post. First impressions are often the right ones.

So, this is most likely a stolen drum, at least at some point in its history. It dates post 1966, I believe, because it looks to have been a 5 digit number.

That's a shame... seller sure should mention that. I bet somebody has never quit looking for that one.
