Someone emailed me with a link to the library clipping section...
Under W there is info on Walberg & Auge
I wonder if any of you belong to this library and can see if it is worthy of more research and information gathering and if it is the drum manufacturer?
Thanks
David
Here's another link that mentions Walberg & Auge of Worcester Mass.

It is the drum company. Also this book: The Great American Drum And The Companies That Made Them 1920-1969
Hello again David, I can't give you any solid proof about Wahlberg and Auge drums but I live about 40 miles from Worcester and have seen 3 or 4 of those drums for sale in the area. One was a complete set in sky blue pearl that was absolutley gorgeous. The others I have seen were snare drums that had been modified. All the sellers describe the drums as being first class quality and a rare find. That's all I got.

Oh my God Shepfu, I am searching for a W & A drum set, particularly the blue pearl one, though not only. I can find nothing for sale, anywhere in the country. Would you let me know if you see any of these for sale again- particularly 60-70's vintage W & A sets. This is the set I played as a child and I really want one now!!!
