take a look at this really old gretsch

Posts: 201 Threads: 56

I really like the look.

Interesting how the snares are just individual strands pulled all the way to the plates.

Never seen this badge. must go way back.

Do you think it is wood or Brass, seen pics of other early drums on not so modern drummer that are brass that have similar color/finish.

Currently at auction on goodwill.

Seems like a true collectors item.

My guesstimate is a wood shell mid 1930's Gretsch.

The throw plate is recessed into the wrap and I see wood through the poor cutout.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!
