Lyon and Healy 1800s marching snare

1800s gut snare lyon and healy marching snare drum
Posts: 2 Threads: 1

I've got a late1800s Lyon and Healy marching snare. (see date on label)

5.5" X 16" (without removing the head) - 10 lugs, gut snares. It's wood and metal construction. A vintage lug key is included.

The bottom head is heavily ripped, the top head has tiny hole, some of the gut snares are separated. I need to sell this drum either through here or on eBay, (it will be a great restoration project!) I was wondering what it might be worth and any other info or resources. I have more photos also. Please contact me if you are interested.

Welcome to the forum

I have a few of them from Lyon & Healey, Duplex, John Haynes and Oliver Ditson.

I paid between $120 - 145 for each of them based on their condition which was about the same as yours. This one as you noted needs new heads, the tensioner is bent. IMHO I would say $125

No Guru - I just love collecting & learning about vintage drums!

Some of my favorites from the kits in the collection
58 WFL New Yorker Blue Sparkle
67 Ludwig Hollywood Red Psychedelic
69 Ludwig Standard Red Ruby Strata
70's Ludwig BOP "Ringo" Kit

A few of my favorite snares
20's Leedy Black Elite
51 Leedy & Ludwig Knob Tension
58 WFL Buddy Rich Classic Blue Sparkle
63 Walberg & Auge Sea Blue Agave Green Pearl
66 Leedy Shelly Manne Blue Agate Pearl

The snares aren't gut, they are cord... FYI
