Help w Premier Shells

Posts: 966 Threads: 213

I just bought these rough Premier shells, thinking that I might make a nesting kit (maybe even 2 kits). The shells are very thin, possibly 3 ply? No date stamps. What age are these? What series?

Thanks

Jim

If serial numbers on badges...1970 onward

The tom mounts are pre 1973......

Jim,

What you seem to have there are Premier's wonderful mahogany 3 ply shells with beech re-rings,... excellent stuff.

Lovely warm sounding.

I'd say early 1970's.
