Thanks Kevin, that's the one. They used the "reverse stick savers" then? flowers2

UPDATE ON SHELL CONSTRUCTION FOR THIS LITTLE GUY:

As I was working to find some new mounting bolts for the "free floating" lug, it kept getting shorter, so I looked closer, and lo & behold, this is a single ply shell. That makes this a very hard to find drum! So now we know why you never see these stencil snares very often. BigDaddy, it looks like the reason that little snare you "lost" to water damage was because it was toilet-paper thin!!! Now I have a piece of Pearl history that not many other folks have any more.Walking

Yes, it was thin for sure. To further explain, the drum appeared to have possibly spent some time outside or in a barn/storage shed. Some creepy crawlies had taken up residence inside, there was mold, a small stick, etc...

The drum was complete and intact including heads, which is why I grabbed it, but after pulling it apart, I knew it would never play another note.

I'l try and dig up the parts - Hopefully, I didn't toss them in my last move.
