I'm pretty sure there are no records of how many of a particular type of set or color were actually made. Ludwig never kept records of that...If you don't see a lot of them like that used, odds are there weren't that many made.

I have a red/white pattern C kit I purchased new as a five piece back in the 70's when I was about 15 and added on four concert toms, 8", 10", 14", 15". Still looks great and have not seen one in person yet. The white is more of a translucent milk white, not clear. I believe this pattern and color scheme was used on a vistalite booklet around 1976 or so showing the bass drum. As soon as I make some room I will set it up ans post some photos.
