About 7 or 8 months ago, I picked up a snare drum at the Salvation Army for $15. I noticed it was a Ludwig, but I figured it was just some budget-end one from the late 80s or something. In recent weeks, though, I got curious about how old it was. I did some research, and found that it's a 1971. The shell and hoops are in pretty good shape. The finish (looks like a natural mahogany-type finish) is worn in a couple places, but not bad. Inside is a sticker with date and model numbers. The date number is 58717, and the model number is 3092. Model number is handwritten. The serial number on the badge is 841134.
A few tension rods are bent, the heads sorely need replacing, and it could use new snare wires. If I were to take care of all that, what kind of price might I be able to fetch for this drum? I have no actual intention of selling the drum; I'm just curious to see a ballpark estimate.
