Very rare czech snare (1920-1960)

Posts: 1040 Threads: 106

I've noticed an auction of this drum:

http://www.aukro.cz/item777726983_stary_buben_zn_l_tuma_praha_csr.html

It's clearly marked "L. Tůma - Praha - ČSR" ČSR is shortcut for Czechoslovakian Republic, wich would set the drum into 1920 -1939 or 1945 -1960 (During WWII, Czechoslovakia didn't exist, and after 1960, it was Czechoslovakian Socialistic Republic). However, "L. Tůma" is a name of a person, a craftsman, so it has to be pre-60s, maybe even pre-50s (communists, who came to power in 1948, banned private business).

It's AROUND 14"x7".

Nice, eh?

Cool. I would like to see it all cleaned up.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]That is very cool...I doubt as old as '20's, but could be mid-40's-60's or so.[/COLOR]

And what about this one?

Looks like 60s to me (logo is old-type, not sure about the lugs, but strainer mechanism is older too and look at the screws).
