Beverley snare drum question

Posts: 16 Threads: 7

I have a vintage Beverley snare drum.

This didn't come with any snare wires, so I am wondering how to attach snare wires to the two ends of the drum. Looking at the snare strainer, I don't think I can attach snare wires to this drum that have plastic tab ends. I think I need to attach them using cord. This might sound silly, but -

How do I attach snare wires to this snare drum so I can get the drum up and running??? If it is with cord/string, how do I attach it?

Also, any ideas of the year of the drum?

A lot of the old Rose Morris snares, so perhaps this applies to Beverleys too, had no receiving holes for cord on the throw off end. You just secured it in the notches in the metal at the bottom. The butt-end though, has the holes you can see. You can make out these quite deep notches on your photo of the throw-off. a bit hard to describe, hope it helps!
