Wasn't that drum made for the Century Of Progress Worlds Fair in Chicago? 1939?

T rods on top look to be non original though..........look chrome,rest is nickel.

Is the top hoop original too?

It certainly is a cool,rare snare.

Now,just play it with a Peavey kit,and it will fit right in!

Most of the pics I've seen of these have the clips and single flange arrangement, but some don't. I'd venture they were all clip varieties in the beginning and some got replaced, as this one did. All the ones in old ads have the clip style going on.

Yes!How's she sound? I would think you'd get a lot of crack with it. What's the specs?

It's 13 inch heads, the shell is 15 inches in diameter, 8 inches deep.

She's pretty ringy.... a fiberskyn tuned med high tamed her down a bit.
