I've had this 12 lug snare (14x4 including the rims) sitting in my music room for years now. It came with a vintage American kit I purchased, although the snare itself is NOT American-made.

A few years ago a gentleman was able to identify the manufacturer and actually showed me a pic of the identical snare from the company's catalog. I know that it wasn't a Japanese company but unfortunately can't recall the country of origin. Any "words of wisdom" on this one?

Thanks!
