The Leedy name was owned by Slingerland after around 1955. Your drums are essentially Slingerlands with Leedy lugs. It's common for the toms not to have badges. Slingerland didn't start putting badges on toms until around '66 or '67 or something like that. Your set probably came together...with the slightly later date stamp on the floor tom, it's possible the original owner bought a set without a floor tom (common then) and then added the FT later.
Very nice, desirable drums. Post pics!
