1 more pic of the snares and the timbales that appear all original other than the Slingerland Leg Holder.

Looks like you got a Gretsch ! How many plies is the shell ? This will help date the snare.

I have never really counted plies before but I am guessing 3. It seems about the same thickness as my 1948 Broadkaster snare as well. Here are a couple more pics of the edge.

Nice looking drum. I'd say late 50's or 60/61 Renown (3ply with silver sealer & no paper tag). Maybe the rims were switched out?

I'm just guessing by flipping through some catalogs.

The lug's Look Gretsch but can be a Japanese drum, they made many simular designs of Gretsch lugs.

Remove one lug Gretsch normally put a number or a letter inside the lugs for reference that will tell date year of manufacture.

Note on this photo of a 1950's Gretsch that I owned the ripples on the lugs I do not see them on yours as pronounced as the original Gretsch this is what leads me to believe is one of the Japanese copies.

I'm with gary, all the hardware is Gretsch, the lugs and the inside screws the tone control, the shell is correct. to cuquito717 the lugs do have the same ridges as your drum they are just hard to see in the pic.

Looks like a '60s 6 ply Gretsch shell. The "strainer" is a 4 pt. butt, and above the generic butt are the holes for a Micro Sensitive stainer. Probably broke, the owner pulled it and used the original adjustable butt as a strainer. The position of the Gretsch muffler backs up this theory.

Even though I think it's a Gretsch, without the correct badge, hoops and throw off, it would probably cost as much to get it back to original condition as it would to buy more complete, correct Gretsch snare drum.

From looking at the first picture, I think I see 4 plies. I'm sure a Gretsch expert could say what shell this is. I guessing early '60s as there is no tag on the inside and it has the 4 pt. butt.

After further inspection and comparison with my other Gretsch drums I am thinking the shell is good other than the 2 holes drilled for the Ludwig butt end.

Couple more questions

This is an 8 lug snare and I thought Renown Snares were only 6? There is no throw on the existing strainer which tells me this is a butt end. Possibly the opposite end of a Microsensitve Sensitive Strainer? Would that explain the three holes above the Ludwig butt end?
