Hi,

I am trying to date a drum that I recently received.

So far, I have put it at 1925.

The shell appears to be 5 x 14, mahogany; not sure about the re-rings.

The bearing edges appear to be about 45 degrees, both, which I thought kind of odd. Still, is my first wooden Leedy from this era. Perhaps it was re-cut?

The next thing I found is that tension rods appear to be about 10-24, and a brass shell drum that I also had, had the larger 12-24 tension rods.

Both drums have 4-screw lugs.

Can someone help me with a better date and also help me determine if the bearing edges have been molested or not.

Thank you.
