From wayne

Another MIJ kit, but does anyone have info on qlty and who may have made it?...It has an 18" floor tom???

The set was made by Pearl from late 60's to the mid 70's sold under the name Mica Swingline..some guy;s think because of the name Swingline that these sets were a Tama made set but it is not..

The set had 4 types/shapes of badges over the years.

Late 60's had a small round egg shape badge top would have Mica on it bottom would have Swingline.

The badges colors could be a mix of these colors black back ground with silver lettering or gold back with black lettering''

These 60s badges are made of metal'

The badge change it size in about 71 badge was bigger same color's but these badges were sticker's..The last badge used was a sticker that had Swingline on top and Mica on bottom''

The shells 60's -from 66 to 69 4 ply with rings..

The shells 70's-to 71 or so 4 ply with rings after 72 the shells were 9 ply with out rings...If the floor tom is a 18" floor its a rare one to have it would date your set from 1969-on...Mikey

Do you think 150 for a 12,22,18fl in WMP is a good price to pay, they are in vg cond.

150 bucks for a kit in WMP, and even in 'VG' condition, is a cheap price.

Thx Ralf, but they are MIJ and we know that a lot of the stencils were "firewood" as the saying goes. Im having her send me an interior shot.
