Are These Badges Worth This?

What would be the chance that these are reproductions?Cheers

Not reproductions.

I checked that out.

These are legit as far as I'm able to find out.

They are parts left over from Billy Gladstone's supply.

They are indeed worth more than regular drum badges.

The snare drums are going for more than $20k these days. So... say one of the 50? original snares turns up and needs one of these 'original badges... it would probably be well worth the money.

Kona,

Thanks for looking into this...I agree that these badges would be worth more than the regular common badges...

I am a badge collector and would like to have one of these in my collection, but, not at the price the seller is asking...Just my opinion is all...

I do wish the seller good luck and hopefully he does end up selling them...

Cheers

Yes... I'm thinking they may well end up in the hands of a collector/player?... that has a Gladstone drum or two

"And they want $9.00 shipping....". That is a perfect example of adding injury to insult.

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.
