I don't know, Dave. It has the little black celluloid badge that I mentioned above and exactly the same lugs as yours. The only drums that I have ever seen that would help date it are that 40's kit on the Hindle & Healey site. It's W.M.P., diecast hoops, a rather elegant throwoff with a cast lever and a very thin mahogany shell----suffered a bit from overtensioning of thick plastic heads , when I got it but that's all in the past now.
name that snare

o.k.. Dave . here is the badge ,I was referring to. It doesn't show up in any pictorials of Beverley badges. You can see , the lugs are the same as yours but the hoops are choppers with clips. My snare( I'll get pics out next week) is in this same series but with cast profiled hoops , like yours. Maybe this will go cheap and you can start building a '40,s/'50,s Beverley kit? I would think floor toms would be the hard one to find.
This has been a great post to follow. The drum looks great,I hope it sounds as good as it looks.VDF has some pretty clever fellows in it's organiZation.....

Here is a '40,s or '50,s Beverley snare that has one of those little celluloid badges. All seems original; even the full width 16 strand carbon steel wires. Nice; long cast arm on the throw, muffler and engraved cast hoops. The badge looks like it was stamped from black wrap. It would have been cool if pearl or sparkle ones had been available too! 14 x 6, 3ply mahogany and birch shell.
