The near pic makes it look like a wrap and the distant pic looks like laquer (on my screen) + (though, I don't think a blue laquer was offered in the early 70's). Pic reso isn't the best for my eyes.

The side lever throw looks odd with a SSB, but maybe very early (?). Need to see the interior tag for more clues. If early 70's 8 lug, I would guess (maybe wishing) $300 to $350, if mint and all original. The finish, badge and throw look curious to me. Maybe just me.

As for model, the tag will tell.

Best of luck.

that throw looks like a lighting from a 4190 i could be wrong

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
