It has been a while since I have posted, but I am trying to find some information on these. They have been tucked away for a long while here in town, and I was extremely fortunate to stumble onto them.

Can you sense the envy in this post? I wonder how long the Rogers Swivomatic tom holder has been on the drum set? What brands are the floor tom legs and bass drum spurs? I know that George Way farmed out much of his hardware manufacturing to Camco. His delinquent indebtedness to Camco is what resulted in the loss of his drum company to Camco.

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

Perhaps. I know when the guy I bought them from agreed to my offer I couldn't get to the bank fast enough. I have no idea what they are worth.

The floor tom legs look identical to the Oaklawn era Camcos that sit next to them, so I assume those are Camco. The bass drum spurs are the same curved style as the Camcos as well. The spurs themselves (curved pieces) are identical to my Camcos, but the spur hardware or mount is slightly different looking. Its not like any other vintage hardware I have so I am not sure what it is.

As far as the Rogers hardware, I know a friend of the original owner. Eddie Knight got these drums and drilled them for the Rogers hardware. Its original to the drums. Same with my Camcos.

Smokin' cool set. What a find. Congrats! And Swivo equipped to boot. I saved both of those images. Love the tunnel one.
