Had a bit more time to look at exactly what I have found and the sizes are:

mounted tom 12x7

bass 24x12

snare 14x5.5

Snare: 8 lug, 3 point strainer, single flanged hoops (no engraving), appears to be ply with maple re-rings, hardware is nickel coated

Mounted tom: stick chopper hoops, top one engraved "Radio King", calf heads stamped "Radio King", 6 single tension nickel lugs

Bass: 10 double tension nickel lugs, Slingerland cowbell/wood block holder, hoop mounted cymbal stand, hoop mounted spurs, calf heads stamped "Radio King"

Hi-hat stand footboard reads "Slingerland Crupa"

Bass pedal reads "Slingerland Epic"

Duco finish is cracked and flaking severly, but has a very vintage look.

Posted are a few more photos of the snare.

What exactly do I have here?

Didnt I answer that in the last topic?

Also the set looks to be a Swing-Master Ensamble. (Probably) A 12x22

bass drum and a 8x12 or 9x13 tom (in the catalogue it lacks a tom size listing.)

But I think this is a Swing-Master set because the bass drum has double

tensioned lugs while the tom has single tension lugs. Also these were only

available in a duco or lacquer and they came with one cymbal holder like yours and it came with a wood block and cowbell.

Beaut of a set you've got there. If the heads are calfskin this is probably a

fifties set but the age could befrom 1948-55.
