I was lucky enough to get my hands on a beautiful set of Radio King drums from around 1959 ( at least that's the stamp on one of the insides. The finish is Black Diamond and the drums appear in good shape..How can I accurately date these..I've not seen any catalogs yet.
The Bass drum has no spurs attached, they are bolt on type ( two little curved steel things you can position on the bass drum hoop.
The 9 x 13 tom has the Radio King etched in the top hoop...the rest aren't but obviously it is a set from the same era...
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Terry
The snane and the bass have the badge that would suggest the approx date ( the "S" in Slingerland has an extra loop..) Am I correct in my dating these drums????
