hello total noob when i comes to vintage drums. i however acquired this drum and i know its missing what i think are called thumb rods. any info on this drum would be greatly appreciated. i have looked through countless vintage guides and havent found anything like this logo.
here is a pic
This decal was used on various early low end & miscellaneous percussion instruments, wood blocks, chinese toms, childrens drums/snares (which seems like what you have) .
That's a cool drum man.
It's a youth marching snare from the early 1900s. You need thumb rods, and either regular heads or calf heads with new wood flesh hoops.
thanks so much guys! does anybody have a good source for getting the thumb rods?
i found it a couple pages earlier that the one kevin posted since its a 6x12. again i really appreciate your help guys. now just to find those thumrods.

Thumb rods show up on Feebay with some regularity. Create a search in the Percussion area, save it, and have it email you when there are matches.

Good scoutin, man !!
Even cooler it's a deep-dish, I hope you can find the parts.
I'll help keep an eye out for you.
:):)
I 'may have' 6 or 8 1920's Ludwig thumb rods around somewhere. I'll have to check. PM me, we'll work out a good deal for you so you can complete your drum.
I'll get back to you shortly... hope I can find them now!
John
