Rare valuable snares?

Posts: 123 Threads: 29

Hello all. Anyone like to have a guess on the value and rarity in today’s drum market of a couple of snare drums?

Snare 1 would be a 1960’s 14”x6½” wood shelled Rogers Powertone, assuming the snare would be all original and in very good to excellent condition. I have not seen many at all come up for sale, are they as rare as say a wood Dynasonic? I bet they would sound fantastic and probably be worth more than a 14”x5” in the same finish and condition.

Snare 2 would be a 1960’s 14”x6½” COB Slingerland Radio King, again assuming the snare would be all original and in very good to excellent condition.

Sorry I don’t have any pics to describe these drums better, I don’t own either of these drums.

Any thought’s or comments as always would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I want to see the Rogers. Depending on color, I would want the Rogers.

I want to see the Rogers too but unfortunately the lead turned out to false. So what would a nice 6.5" wood Powertone be worth? Hard to find any info on them, they must be pretty rare.

$300 or thereabouts, I think. Maybe $350 ?

Depending on Color, Condition, Desirability........ 600-1200 even in this market.

Hmmm. Not in the current economic atmosphere.

I will stick with my assessment even in this market. Depending on color, condition and desirability.

If I had not purchased a 5x14 Red Ripple Powertone, September, received the day before Thanksgiving, ........... that one would not be on ebay now.

Hmmm. Even the red ripples didn't muster $800 recently.

I think those days may be over.

And I, for one, applaud that.
