Way too cool!
That is awesome buddy! I wish I could find toms like that, in those sizes! Here's a few of mine. Bass is a 1949 22", 13" and 14" toms (MIJ's- sound great though), and my snare is a 1941 Ludwig & Ludwig. The previous, original owner, added the aftermarket bass drum legs.. I still have the original ones like yours though. that's a very nice kit sir!

Thanks, Guys. Man...you are bringing up old (and still painful) memories! I had to sell this kit about a year ago when I bought my house. Luckily, I sold it to a friend and I have the first crack at buying it back. In the meantime, I've been building up another 40's kit with Ludwig/WFL orphans on the cheap.
Nice drums, Justin...especially that snare. I'm sure it sounds great. The one I had was from 1950 and it sounded fantastic! WMP Leedy orphans come up from time to time on eBay...you can probably fulfill your quest.
