This past weekend I was lucky enough to buy some very old drum hardware and drums. These pieces belonged to a WW1 veteran who was a medic in the 25th regiment of the US Army in Boston Mass. He also played percussion in the regiment band. He kept everything! I was able to purchase everything accept for a snare drum and two orchestral cymbals that had previously been sold. I will be posting pictures over the next few days to get your assistance on what I have, and if you have a guess, the value. Pretty rare to see drum related pieces this old in eastern Canada!
This is the bass drum, it's a 24" drum with calf skin heads. One head has a foot drawn on it and the owners name. No identifier of the drum but if it matches other items I would estimate early 1920's. I took the bed off and found a number and writing inside as pictured. Any idea on what the drum is or the value? Thanks
