Help identifying this drum

Posts: 304 Threads: 31

I got this a while back but I have no idea who the maker is. It is 5X14, 3ply with a maple interior and no re-rings. The wrap is so thin,I almost thought it was a lacquer finish. Color is a dark green pearl. Hoops are heavy,not magnetic and not brass. Cast aluminum? Anyone have any ideas who made this? Thanks

That is almost identical to the Leedy "Utility" model I owned and restored a while back.Look for some indication of engraving on the batter side rim.

Thanks,but there is nothing anywhere on the drum. I forgot to mention that it has 8 lugs.

Thanks Mikey. There is nothing. I think this one may have to go on the shelf as John Doe.
