Ok folks, this is what 6 months of blood, (yes blood) sweat, and tears gets you. May I present my full restored 1950ish WFL kit! I looked and looked through my Ludwig Book and couldn't get an exact date but I am thinking between late 40's to early 50's on this guy. The snare drum is dated Sept. 5th 1957 so it is a little bit later 50's than the rest of the set. Sizes are 13, 16, 24 with a 10x14 snare. I stripped the entire drum set of it's paint. The Duco had been covered with a thick blue paint and then spray painted all over. See original pic. I then tried my hardest to match the wine-mahogany that all those old Ludwig snares had and did a fair job in my opinion :) After that I cleaned all the nickel hardware and re-did the hoops on the kick and the snare to match eachother. These puppys have 3 coats of wipe on stain and two coats of wipe on poly. Beautiful the way they turned out. Like I said 6 months of work so if you have any questions about anything I did feel free to ask. The kit will come with the original kick hoop mount for the rack tom. Speed King not included. I have zero idea what these are actually worth. But I am going to as $1200 shipped to the lower 48. Open to offers as well. No trades on this one as I have an engagement ring to pay off! Unless you have something I really really want of course ;) Ok, I'm physically and mentally worn out on this kit so ask any questions and I'll be happy to oblige. Also, additional pics can be done! Thanks, I hope that I can do this till I die, I love it!
