Hello,

Thanks for your help,

The number 4902 is stamped inside the drum. I guess that is the date stamp but I have no idea how to decipher the date. Does it maybe mean February 1949?

Just a couple of other things, the top skin has a small bit of mould near the edge of the skin. Is it still playable or would you recommend putting a new head on it? I would really like to play this drum and see how it sounds. It seems to resonate well.

Also the wood has a reddish colour to it, any ideas on what type of wood it may be?

Thanks again.
