Overall, things look original/correct to the drum based on the Serial Number. Most of my data is based on COB Dynas (Chrome Over Brass), but it'll get us in the ballpark.
For SN(Serial Number) 4330, the lugs are correct, and the T-rods appear to be. The frame [I]appears [I]to be correct based on the what can be seen from the photo. The bottom hoop appears correct as it has the "twisted" mounting brackets for the snare guards(also known as gates). This SN is close to when the hoop height changed, so you might want to measure the height of the hoops. Std. size hoops measure +/- 1-1/8" while "Tall" hoops measure more like 1-1/4" +/-. If this were a COB Dyna, the hoops should be Std. ht., but, since it is a wood shell, they could be "Tall" hoops.
The blackface throwoff may or may not be original. On the COBs, they switched over to a chrome-background (no black background behind the Rogers name), clock-faced (not straight-sided) strainer around the 3000+ stage (SN's are never exact with Dynas due to production methods). Wood Dynas have always had a slightly different SN "timetable" than COBs, but since so few were made in comparison to COBs, it is harder to pinpoint when changes in drum parts(configuration) were made.
Can't see the muffler, but it should have dark gray felt. If the felt is white or cream colored, either the muffler or felt is not original.
Value seems to be based on Rarity, Quality, Configuration and Originality.
Rarity: Wood Dynas are more rare than COB Dynas. Of course any given covering on a wood Dyna is even more rare than Wood Dynas in general. Seems like the Holy Grail of Wood Dynas would be the Mardis Gras finish with Beavertail Lugs or Wood Dynas with inside paper tags - very rare.
Quality: Collectors pay a hefty premium for high quality drums. This includes every part. Every part that is of high quality (no rust, pitting, scratches, dings, holes, markings, etc.) improves the value.
Configuration: Dynas made at different times have different parts and therefore there are, effectively, different models. Most of the earlier configurations had more limited runs and therefore become more rare. Some configurations (SN Badge style, Lug style, Hoop ht., Frame style, Bot. Hoop style, Muffler style) had very limited runs, so with any given configuration, the rarity increases or decreases. For Wood Dynas, this was about the 5th configuration (not the earliest frame, lugs, or badge styles -this is the 3rd style of badge).
Originality: Collectors also like the parts to be all original to the drum when possible. The more parts that are original, the better. The problem with the issue of originality is "proving" it. Usually, you just have to take someone's word for it. Not good enough in my book to warrant shelling out big bucks due to stated "originality". Probably the best person out there to give you a decent take on the originality of any part would be Bobby Chiasson at "The Drum Farm". So, usually one must settle for configuration "accuracy". In other words, based on the SN on the drums; are all the parts "correct" for the SN and the configuration that should have been produced at that time?
$2000 + is a good place to start on valuation, but this one could be worth more. The market is somewhat off right now - probably due to the economy. And yes, the Rogers Dynasonic drum head is worth keeping.
This one is not quite the Holy Grail of wood Dynas, but it is pretty darn good. Because the SN is getting lower (exterior badge Dynas started at either SN 1000 or 1001 - can't recall - and remember, most were COBs), the value increases due to fewer drums made in the earlier configurations. Paper Tags and Mardis Gras are more of a "Holy Grail" in the Dyna world.
Tommy P is definitely the guru of tuning - talk to him re making the drum "sing" (but again, don't lose that original head!, or any original part for that matter). We always like to see someone find a treasure. Woo Hoo!
Hope this gives you more insight as to what you have.
