We just picked this up at a yard sale this morning for $1. The guy said he thought it said Ludwig on it someplace. When I asked how much he said one dollar. I was buying it because I need some of those rim clips.
When we got it home we found a very light engraving on the top hoop that says "Ludwig Universal". Maybe I won't scavage the clips off it.
The bottom hoop is kind of rusty and the snares have some broken wires. Other than that it is pretty clean. It is a
14 x 5 6 lugger.
My research so far (eBay) suggests it is 1920's vintage with a brass shell and most likely worth more than the $1 I paid for it.
