Hey everyone! I was at a local thrift store when I picked up this snare for a whole $8. I was pretty excited! Sadly the wrap is a bit warped in spots but still a neat find. No badge, but maybe the lugs can tell you guys a little about it?

Whoo! Good grab, especially if it came with the Puresound wires.
MIJ; The lugs look a little different from the Star ones, so I'll guess Pearl.

Late 60's Pearl. That is the first design of the "tip" style strainer. Also has rerings, which is more of a 60's thing.
Thanks for the input guys! And look at what I found. That snare looks a little familiar don't you think?

Of course we know Apollo drums were made by Pearl too... then again the strainer appears to go the opposite direction. Perhaps I was mistaken.

Such a fantastic photo. Reminds me of McCartney/Wings album cover for "Wildlife". Ah the 1970s and the Earth Day movement, etc. Great times.
