Thanks! I'll give that one a shot next!

Just got a reply

Thanks for reaching out. I was the manager of Steve's store when we had the Caddy Green 20/12/14/sn with gold hardware, all the old K's, books, and timbales. The kit was on consignment with us from the person that bought it in upstate NY and the set was sold complete in December of 2008. Hope that helps. Thanks!

I guess that solves the mystery of why it disappeared from the face of the Earth!

Thanks for the email link @TheElectricCompany! That's the one that got the response.

Yes, I've seen the pics of some of the ones that are out there....but "the" one was a real time capsule kit -literally the find of a lifetime for a drum collector, in my opinion.

... and CUT! That's a wrap! And another fine historical drum mystery is in the can!, er archives. This one has had it's depths fully plumbed, with the drums being located, and decorum .. to a degree .. was observed by most. 😎
