I didnt get a great photo of the top of the pedal but it is all intact and functional. The large blue beater you see fits and secures fine.

Rob Cook has it dated 1936-1950.

Thanks legacy. Im hoping to one day repair it!

ive got one of these in super nice condition. i researched it a few years back and also found it in the late 30's catalog first. very neat pedals.

Any idea of how I could fix this pedal Mike? The heel plate is still solid, but you can see in the picture where the "housing" is broken where the support bar would go.

The old man I bought the drums from told me that the 1941 snare was part of his original kit, and that the other drums were damaged in an accident or a fire or something... it's been 10 years or so... but I would imagine this pedal is probably the original pedal for his kit. I love it! it's got character.

I also have the original wood blocks, one having the same Ludwig logo sticker on it as on this pedal.

yeah, thats most likely the original pedal there. if you could post a pic of the damage, maybe someone could chime in on some repair ideas. forum member bfulton does great work on pedals. he may have some ideas as well.

if you need any pics of mine,let me know. seems like my ludwig&leedy pedal is built much like the new speed pedal,even though they were about 10 years later.

Thanks Mike! The second pic I have there is of the damage on the bottom but I know it's kind of dark. Ill try to get a better photo of it tomorrow.

Well, it took me long enough but here is a better photo of the broken part on the bottom. Any idea of how to fix it?

Your Leedy & Ludwig pedal is the same model pedal as the new speed but with a new footboard attached. This is why they are so similar. Why mess with a good thing when all you have to do is update the brand logo, right? x-mas3
