I think the Tom is Beverley
Can anyone tell me more about this kit?

Since it's a mix match of shells and parts, what did you plan on doing with it?
The set, while quite a find, is quite a "hodge-podge" hybrid ensemble, but I'll venture a guess:
"4710" is a factory stamp which indicates October, 1947 as the date of manufacture. This type stamp is frequently seen in Leedy, Ludwig, Slingerland shells from the same time period. However, the white finish inside may well indicate the shell being a Leedy with retro mounted Slingerland parts, unless it was originally a Slingerland mahogany interior shell painted over white at some time in its history. So, perhaps a Leedy with retro mounted Radio King streamline style lugs; perhaps Slingerland. The bass drum claws resemble old Olympic or other UK drums (could as well be old Leedys). The T's? - look chrome plated - later UK; possibly US. Definitely 70's Premier + 60's Premier or Olympic tom mount castings retro mounted. The remaining toms probably Ludwig & Ludwig, or Leedy, or hybrids of some sort. I'd like to see the tension mounts on the tom which is highest in the stack in a more focused photo. Is that a tympani type tuning "T" on the top tom or simply a drum key? The photos are unclear and so leave too much to guesswork. Can't determine the make/model bass drum anchor either. The drums probably sound great!
