Help (again) with info and value on Leedy & Ludwig snare

Posts: 1017 Threads: 349

Leedy and Ludwig 15*8. The strainer is there but no butt plate.

Likely a re-wrap (?)

It very nice.... It will be fun to refurbish this guy and hit it hard!

Thanks!

It's usually a size problem. Try making the pics smaller.

Right you are -- I took the pics with my phone. Average size = 2.2 Mb

Sheesh.

This appears to be a "Concert King" snare drum. It shows up in the Leedy catalogue in the early 40's.

But this is a Leedy & Ludwig, and in that company's catalogue in 1953.

I'm still trying to learn the first year of the combined L&L operation....

And if I'm looking at the right pictures, it likely won't be asy to find the bottom hoop! Anyway, the 'correct' bottom hoop.

You asked for a pick of a snare butt from similar era, I think this one is what your looking for, maybe others members may have additional pics or correct me. Have it from another snare from same era.

Yep. That’s it. I’ve been able to see it in some 4 sale listings (of the drum, not the part).

Do you have an extra, by any chance??
