Looks like a Festival but don't know if they made those in wood.

That is a student Radio King from 56ish with Nickel plated trim and Mahogany shell. Single ply, maybe....should be.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

The Chicago badge places it before the move to Niles which was in 1961 or 62 (I think). Looks like nickel hardware with a black lacquer finish on a 3 ply Maple/poplar/mahogany shell. Lacquered drums had a maple outer ply (wrapped drums usually had mahogany). This probably wouldn't be a drum to re-wrap because it would likely end up oversized.

I believe this would be considered a "Hollywood Ace" model. At least it is very similar to that model.

Edit: Oops..didn't see the throw off. not a Hollywood ace...I also think it's a Student Radio King. This is from the 55 catalog, Later ones probably went to standard hoops.

Could have some extra holes there?? Maybe a Radio King minus the strainer guide..

Cheers

I was waiting for VM2k so we could know what it is, and why I had trouble with the hoops.

I think Slingerland stopped offering nickel hardware for 59, if that helps any.

Of course, I could be wrong.
