iron city rocker!
Sorry I didn't see your question... I generally don't have a look in the "General Question's" section. Anyway,
Your kit is a Rogers "Londoner V", and the wrap is KOA. These are Fullerton, CA built Rogers, but being that they are late 1972/73 models, the drums still have the Swivo-Matic hardware, Knobby's, etc. By this time the hardware/mounts are all CAST as opposed to MACHINED, thus they are much more prone to cracking under stress/use... but they were "cheaper" to manufacture, thus insuring the bean counter's at CBS's bottom line... but I digress. So,
Shells are nice... bearing edges should be good... and overall they will posess that typical Rogers sound. Quality would soon start to suffer though... but I think your kit just slips in. By the way,
You should remove those bass drum hoops and paint them black again... that would be correct for this kit. Also, the rear T's and Claws on the bass drum appear to be Gretsch. They're not Rogers. I can't really see the front ones. You "might" want to change those out at some point... that is, if you wanted to make these look original. Also,
Your actual sizes are thus:
14X22
8X12
9X13
16X16
And this particular kit was cataloged/shipped with a 5X14 COB 5 line Dynasonic.
Value? Hard to say... typically, these year Rogers don't have the resale/collectible power of their earlier 60's bretheren, and, they always seem to be in either KOA or New England White! Regardless, they are still nice drums, and as I mentioned earlier, your quality level on the build/manufacture of these should still be pretty good.

PS: You really don't want to include the CB700 concert toms with this kit... ( although the wrap does match nicely! ) ... Those CB700's kind of bring down the value of the property! :-) Just funnin' of course! You can do whatever you want... they're YOUR drums!!
