My search returned this:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/vintage-tama-drum-kit-/280680087517#ht_500wt_1156

And they are not Pearl at all, but Star in a Fibre Gold wrap....

Second try came up with a dead link, "Item Removed"

Then I finally extracted just the Item Code and this is what I got....

http://cgi.ebay.com/110707866079?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp5197.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D110707866079%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1#ht_500wt_1156

Now, looking at this kit, they are not Pearl. The metal snare is an old Beverly, the badge looks to read "Beverly The New Standard" . The wood components are older, and I have no idea who they actually are made by, but not sure they are Pearl at all. Get the seller to send you some better pix, then we shall see. Those lugs are not any Pearl President I have ever seen.

In any case, it could be an adventure waiting to happen! and it is starting low enough, why not jump in?

EDIT: Yes, Beverly, and the badge on the wood snare appears to read "Made in London"...this could be a very fine catch indeed.
