Hi, this is my first post on these forums, so i apologize if this is the wrong section to be posting in.
I recently bought an old premier olympic snare, ive been told its late 1930's, and i believe is nickel plated rolled steel, though i cant be sure. The drum has no conventional badge, rather the premier logo is engraved on the side of the drum, and on the snare mechanism, and has 6 tube style lugs, with slotted heads.
The snare is slightly smaller than a standard 14", around 13.5".
Basically i am just looking for more information on it, and how rare or valuable it is. I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to old snares, and any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much.
For some reason i cant get the images to upload to here so I've posted them on imageshack instead, link below:
