Hi all.....just acquired a chrome Rogers Powertone snare from the original owner. Dated in the early 60's (according to the seller), it looks to be in excellent original condition, just a bit dirty and needs a good dismantling and cleaning.
I do not know anything about Rogers, so I would love to get some basic info on this snare. Here is what i know from the seller:
- dated in the early 60's (though I didn't see Powertone snares in my catalogs until 1965)
- Serial # 12577
That's all I know. Not sure if this is COB or COS, but my (novice) understanding is that early Powertones were COS.
So, here are a couple of pics as the snare is now...uncleaned.
Would love to know more about it.
Thanks very much.
