A very similar kit went for 450 on ebay with only one bidder. KevinS and myself were in comms about that one...if that helps with current market value. Here's the auction number 230427676680
How much could my Premier kit be worth?
The small mounted tom with the older badge, if you look at the way the head hoop is exposed shows the shell is pre-international which puts it pre '65. The lugs on the tom, snare and the BD are also pre '65. The BD tension rods have more of a hook and ball, Premier fattened them up a bit and removed the ball, it would break off.
The 14" tom and the FT are newer '66 to '78ish, the lugs have that Art Deco look and the newer badge.
During this time Premier was standard sizing it's kits. One thing Premier always did was never waste parts. They would use up all their old hardware before going to new parts, this meant everything, shells, lugs, hoops were used in combination with new kits, sort of a Frankenstein Kit.
This might be one of them.
ps: Remo still makes the pre-international sizes, you can order them through your local dealer. More info on Pre-Int sizes can be found here by "Search".
Wow, haha, i didn't know there was so much about that kit :L do the differences in parts add or subtract value?
