I have a set of Rogers & was wondering if anyone could help me out on telling what year they are? I have attached a couple pics of them. I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

They look to be from about 1971 or 72 depending on the inside color of the frums,the have the very reliable swivomatic rack tom set up hardware which is fantastic.I used a black and red kit just like this for over twenty years gigging uo to 5 nights a week,never had a lick of trouble with any of them.The cymbal stands are not from the same era.Gary Van FleetKeep on Pl
Paper Badges on the inside will probably say Dayton. Interiors will be flat gray paint. 1968 or 1967. Could be as early as mid 1966.
Paper Badges on the inside say Dayton, interiors are spatter gray, 1968-69.
I seriously doubt these are later than 1970. The collets and the tom arms are wrong for Fullerton. I think.
May money is on the first guess. But you have a range to date them.
are the knobbies the cast or machined version(the machined says rogers on the cap) same with the collets BUT if it is a transition set it could have both and a mixing of parts but my guess is a 1968 to 1970...based on what i can see..pop off a head and have a look inside post a pic of the badges.. :)
