I promise to stop with "Mysterious XXXX" now... But, in the last of my three part series, I offer up this little gem. Now, before I hear the cries about my hillbilly/DIY paint-job on this, bear in mind that it had been spray painted flat black (hardware and all) by it's previous owner, and I had fully intended to make it into a silver-sparkle, covered drum (and re-do the plating) before discovering that it was, in fact, a Blue/silver duco underneath, and that I'd never get heads on it with a wrap. AND, that the cost to re-nickel the hardware was more than the value of the drum... So, I polished up this **** as best I could to make it a "player". What I'm curious about, is why it DOESN'T have triple-flanged hoops; I thought that was the hallmark of WFL pretty much from the beginning. Now, to be fair, this drum is all nickel (no chrome), and seems to pretty much match from top to bottom, but could it have the wrong hoops on it, or are there WFL's with double flanged hoops out there??? Oh yeah, it's a 7x14", and it also has NO muffler, but does have two mystery holes visible in the pics. Three-ply shell with Mahogany inner. And it's missing the badge... Best guess is something early post-war (like 1946-7). Thoughts???
