John Grey & Sons..

Posts: 904 Threads: 127

Just bought a couple of John Greys that I thought I would share with everyone...

The first ....14"x6" Snare Drum in unusual Black Pearl-I think late 30's?

the second.11 x 14 Birch shell with reinforcing rings, die cast hoops, top hoop with deco relief detail and just love those deco lugs, thinks also pre-war late 30's...not sure on the wrap?
