[COLOR="DarkRed"]....mmmm...we are talkin OLD...like 1940's or likely older. If no badge on it and no label inside, it's pretty much gonna be impossible to determine the mfr., though....[/COLOR]

Hey Tromme,

Tough to pinpoint the age and make on these things. I second Jaye's thoughts on the date however - at least 1940's, likely earlier, maybe from the 20s or 30s.

As for the builder, doesn't look like Ludwig, Leedy, or Stone to me. If it's American, that would leave Dulpex or Walberg & Auge as possibilities amongst others.

And as far as value... not much... probably less than $100 because the paint looks unoriginal, shipping is always an issue with drums of this size, and they don't have much practical purpose or collectible value to begin with.

Others may disagree but those are my thoughts! Hope this helps!
