Vintage pearl bolero kit color ?

Posts: 1880 Threads: 292

Just thought i could use some info as to the finish of this vintage bolero/ pearl kit..I had posted that i was looking for a vintage MIJ kit from the 60's from pearl, and a buddy of mine found this in his area..

My question is,can anyone tell what this finish is ? It doesn't look like root beer swirl to me, and looks more like a goldish swirl, but i can't tell for sure.. Maybe it's the lighting..?

10 lugger bass drum, and what looks to be 22- 13-16 with snare included set up.. I may just snag it up.. $300 Cdn ! All thoughts appreciated ! cheers !

Pretty sure that is Root Beer Swirl in odd lighting.

Could it be that the swirl finish has faded , giving it that goldish color?

This one looks like the same wrap that's on my Coronet kit. I am not sure of the proper name of the wrap, but I believe it's called "bronze strata". My drums change colour as they are tilted or as the light is changed. They usually look gold, but can change from the yellow side of gold to a green tint as different angles of light hit them. It's cool.
