I bought a vintage set of chrome finished drums recently at my local salvation army store . This is what I got for $200. 22 inch bass drum 12 and 13 inch toms 14 inch snare 16 floor tom. The mounted tom,s and the bass drum are the deeper drum's . IT came with a high hat stand , one cymbal stand foot pedal paiste hh cymbals an 18 inch paiste crash and 2 cheap cymbals. The badge indicated they were made in Niles Ill in the 70,s they are in good shape wondering if anyone could put a value on this find. thank you

Hey everyone the serial no. on the drums is 579303. It also came with a yellow jacket foot pedal a snare stand and a throne also . The tom holders were broke so I replaced them with a pearl double tom tom stand. I am not sure on the ply thickness maybe 3 or 5 ?. I put on new remo heads and they were good to go. I am playing them now but would like to no if anyone could give me a ballpark value. Thanks
