You'll come out with a good deal after the refurbishing...

Congrats, keep us posted!

Why can't I find deals like this???? Eye Ball

I've been asking myself that same question, and then I just pay the big bucks anyway.....sigh

I have a secret technique. I made up business cards, cost $59.95 for 500 color cards. The cards say, " Buying Drums, Calll XXX-xxxx"......thats the way I did it.

I live in the stix... can you order those cards one at a time?

$40.00 for that hunk of junk??? Ouch!!! Tell you what... I'm feeling generous today. I'll give you $45.00 plus shipping. I'll probably use it as a planter or something. Dang, I hate when good folks get ripped off :)

All kidding aside... nice score!

If that is a 2 piece shell, and the edge flange goes clear back to the shell and is soldered, then you got the drum for about 10% of its value.

what do you mean by two-piece?

If there is evidence of solder or a seam around the circumference at the bead, (The bead is double thickness) then it is a 2 piece. The soldered back flange would indicate the same thing.

OK, cool. Yes, it is a two piece. Thanks for the info. Someone is this forum said it was probably 1920-1926? Does that sound right?
