HELP IDing - IS THIS A SUPRA COB ?

Posts: 1880 Threads: 292

Came across this snare drum on my local classifieds and was wondering if anyone can tell me if it's the coveted COB supraphonic ?. May be hard to tell with just one pic..Hmmmm..Great deal and a nice piece to possibly add to my collection.. The badge seems to be a pre-serial according to vintage drum guide site, but their site doesn't really help identifying if it is a COB.. Any help identifying this old girl would be appreciated ..;)

Looks like it has some pitting and the lugs are the newer style, so probably not COB but can't tell 100% from the 1 photo.

The lugs are imperial lugs, so i'm not quite sure what you mean by "newer lugs"..

Supraphonics have had imperial lugs for decades, but as far back as 20's 30's some had tube lugs..

Well thanks for your helps guys, but there's no point now, as it has been put on reserve for someone already.. Story of my life :(

Watch the video and you will see the lug difference, yes still imperial lugs but the older style had a shorter middle section.... sort of hard to describe without pictures.
