Second thought...................

IF THIS IS A "NICE" FIND, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR YOU TO GET REALLY EXCITED?

Although I don't like metal snares nearly as much as wood shell snare drum, my Blackro sounds very wood-like. They are plentiful and priced within reach. Here's one on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ludwig-5-x14-Acrolite-Blacrolite-Snare-Drum-International-Shipping-Welcome/202663105750?epid=16018030941&hash=item2f2fa994d6:g:SjEAAOSwp~VclnAd&frcectupt=true

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

Really neat kit! My favorite color scheme for Vistalites.

Stop stringing and tuning your instrument, make music now.

4th is B/O round badge currently at $66 dollars

and 5th is blacrolite with bag and stand at $51 dollars with 2 days left on auction.

All are in really nice shape with no visible pitting or scratches.

That's exactly what I thought, Jeff! It seems that "what we've got here is a failure to communicate" among the movers.

I wonder what's going to happen when the previous home owner finally unloads the moving truck, starts unpacking, and then says, "Hey, where the hell are my drums?".

Mike: My wife and I were discussing the exact scenario just the other day. If that happens, it certainly isn't going to be "pretty", is it?
