I'm considering purchasing a pre-serial Niles Hollywood Ace snare that is posted on CL. The rapid strainer is located 1 lug to the left of the badge. Every picture I have seen in all of the catalogues and online all have the strainer mounted on the right side of the badge. The seller claims everything is original and no extra holes. Any thoughts on this?

Hi Deadhead,
On page 188 of the Slingerland Book by Rob Cook, there is a picture of a Hollywood Ace with the strainer one lug over from the badge. Looks just like yours. Good luck,
James

Thanks James, I figured stuff like this happened from time to time. I still haven't decided on the snare, the chrome is pretty pitted up and his price is a little higher than I'd like to spend, but I'll see if I can't haggle him down a bit.
