I'm not well versed in Gretsch drums at all...yet this 5x14 wood WMP round badge has been my go to snare for years. Bought it off ebay and picked it up from a music store in Maryland (can't even remember which one) 17 or 18 years ago. It was advertised as a 1960s Gretsch, and that's about it. It has a drum key holder (I added the drum key later), no internal mufflers, and no extra holes.
My questions are:
1. Is this a Renown?
2. What's the model #?
3. Approximately what year (I want to say early 60s based on the throw)?
I'll try to remember to get a photo of the paper tag w/serial number tonight, if that would help at all.
