Looking For Info On This Drum

Loading...

I'm Still Looking For Info On This Drum I Posted A Few Days Ago. I Found It In The Attic Of My Old Farmhouse In Upstate Ny, Near Vt, But I Think It Belonged To My Uncle From South Carolina When He Was In The Military In Ww Ii. It Says Slingerland Supertone Calf On It's Head And Has A Brass & Gold Cloud Badge That I Believe Dates It Somewhere Between '28 And '47. It Was In A Canvas Case That Says 10x14 On It, But It Physically Measures About 11.5-12" Deep By 14.5-15" Wide. It Looks To Be In Very Good Shape(despite The Dust On It In The Pics!) Except For The Slight Wear You Can See On The Rim That I Think Probably Came From Rubbing Against The Person Marching With It. I Saw A Couple On Ebay That Looked Almost Like It, But Their Badges Were From The 1950's. I'm Not A Drum Guy And Could Use Your Help Finding Out More About It, A Reasonable Value, And How And Where To Sell It To Someone Who Would Appreciate And Enjoy It. Thanks!!

You answered all your questions.

Badge dates it from 1928-47

Calf head has stamping

Uncle owned it from WW2

Wear marks from age, unplayed for at least 50 years.

Location South Carolina and New York

Maple hoops and mahogany shell.

Selling it anywhere or anyway would only get you about $100(+/-)
