These drums cleaned up very well, but they still need some new skins tacked on. They're so pretty I'm scared to mess them up!

Are they Leedy, or Ludwig?

The 13" is Ludwig and the 15.25" (that's the actual diameter for some reason) is Leedy. They're essentially identical besides the name on the sticker!

I know what you mean. I have an abalone 3 piece, born together, the snare and rack are Ludwig and the bass drum Leedy. Mid 1930's.

Thanks for posting.

I guess this counts as a matching bass - I have this 1936 28" Leedy spartan that I'll be using with these toms once I restore them!
