Not much info on the brand that I could find .. seems they were around for quite a while.. making Drums.. Tamborines.. Toy drums.. etc..

Looks like the company was wound up in 1969.. A rare beast indeed.

Sorry, I can't be help.

But these lugs are really ugly and remind me of Eastern Europe producers.

I don't really think the lugs are ugly.WAAAAY different though.Not the same old rounded, bullet shaped like on many brands.It was at least a try at something different.They will also look better when polished!
