My parents bought me this kit when I was in middle school, around 1979 or 1980, from an ad in the newspaper. I’ve been the owner since then, and haven’t played it in around 27 years. It is still in very good condition. I have taken a lot of pictures to show all the details, and am willing to take any more specific pictures. The bass drum, floor tom, and 13″ tom all have the keystone badges. The 12″ tom has the newer Blue & Olive badge, so it I’m guessing it was added to the kit later. All the hardware is original. I have not added, updated or tried to restore anything. The last time it was really played would be in 1988 when I had a brief stint in a punk band in KC.

If I’m reading the serial number charts correctly, the drums with the keystone badges are from around 1964, and the one tom with the B&O badge is 1969-70.

Serial numbers:

14″ Chrome Snare: 49418 Keystone

22″ Bass drum: 47300 Keystone

16″ Floor tom: 47104 Keystone

13″ Mounted tom: 47167 Keystone

12″ Mounted tom: 789410 B&O

Includes WFL snare stand and Speedking bass pedal.

Asking $1000 and would prefer if it was picked up, since I’m not really sure how to ship this. I have tried shipping a drum before it was difficult and expensive. If the buyer really wants to do shipping, then we can try and figure something out. I live in the Chattanooga, TN area, and would be willing to drive it to a nearby city if necessary (Knoxville, Nashville, Atlanta).

Please feel free to ask any questions and request specific pictures.
