Unidentified Snare Drum

Posts: 5 Threads: 2

I have a 13X3 snare drum that does not have any markings except the stamped round circle which does not have any indentifiable markings. I'm guessing 1920's era. I would appreciate any insight as to what I have here.

Can you post a picture of the strainer?

I have a pretty good idea what it is, but don't want to let the cat out of the bag without being sure.

Hey, Thanks for checking this out. Per your request I have attached the strainer mech and butt plate. Pretty simple stuff.

That's a Leedy Tango snare drum.

From roughly the teens -20's. I believe it was a student model, or just a less expensive (to manufacture that is) drum that Leedy made.

Here's one on ebay:
