Hi ,

I have this very old "Boosey & Co" metal, (possibly brass) snare drum in pieces, as per the attached photos. All the parts are there with the exception of the gut snares themselves.

Does it have any historic or collector's value, in which case "Ebay", or should I just scrap it?

The badge (Badge has picture of a Trumpet) stamped on the shell and below reads

"Boosey & Co

On the inside of the shell written in what appears to be dark lead pencil

"10/4/30

Kil"

Look forward to any comment you may have

cheers
