I was thinking it had to be somewhere in the mid 60's because of the strainer, and because the wrap reminds me of the Psychedelic time. I really can't believe that this snare is that old and still looks new. Do you think the case could be that old too ? I don't think I'll use this for any gigs, I don't want to due anything stupid like put any marks on the shell or badge, or expose it to cigarette smoke. How much could this be worth for insurance purposes or if I want to sell it to a collector? thanks for the info, randy
Truth is maybe 60-75, if the case is original. I believe this is a Star, however the strainer is a 3 point Slingerland knock-off that I have only seen once or twice so it may be a Pearl design. The Star from this period is a 4 point and this looks more like a 3 point I have only seen on Pearl. Del Rey was a Pearl stencil for most, if not all, of it's life. I love that wrap. If you put it on e-slay and someone has a full kit, PLEASE get a full set pf good quality pictures and post them so we have a record of this wrap.
