I have inherited a 1947 Ludwig drum set from my dad. I am trying to figure out who the original owners was (it looks like a custom set) and what the value of the set might be. I'm not interested in selling it but need to know what the insurance value is. Is there someone who knows about this kind of thing that can handle it online?

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp
once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

For a professional appraisal (on-paper) call Steve Maxwell in N.Y. We can give you a fairly solid market value price here, but if you need 'documentation' then Maxwell is your best bet.

Jeff, et al...
I have devised a mathematical formula that will give you the best price based on the size of the drum:
BB (Big Bucks) = c (circumference) X d (depth) X h (hoop) / (Ss (shoe size) + Pw (pants waist size)) * (I don't have an up arrow, so...) UP (to the power of) lug count of the drum(s) you wanted when you were 14 years old.
A: If the product is over a thousand, go to a local bar, order a beer (of your choice) and start a conversation with the bartender about lawn mowers. Change the answer to 1000.00 and go to step 'C'.
B: If the answer is less than a thousand, color your hair bright red with Easter Egg dye. If you are follicle challenged, you may substitute your mustache, beard or eye brows. Change the answer to 1000.00 and go to step 'C'.
C: If the answer is one thousand, even, move the decimal three places to the left and multiply that by the amount you think it's worth.
And there it is! Simple, eh?

Pics are much needed for this post.
Depends on your ins. carrier. Some will allow agreed replacement value. Others fair market value. You gets what you pay for with insurance. If there is a claim.
Fair market can turn into a mess. They find a "similiar" set and pay you that amount. They don't know a drum from a Chevy
Agreed replacement value negates all this crap. You get the funds to replace the kit. Within reason. Hope it helps!

Should the Easter egg dye be the type you mix with vinagr or will the new water based stuff work. I want to do it right!
Thank you!

This is probably the most accurate appraisal technique I have ever heard of. Clapping Happy2

Of course! Many moments of 'hard' [sic] work and cerebral contusions went into the making of this formula!
