Hi, I've been a mailman for 34 years and a drummer for 40. Recentley a older man on my route told me how he also played drums but hadn't played in a long time. He said he had an old Slingerland set he bought in 58. He also aked me if I wanted them, as he really hadn't touched them for years. He said they were in cases but he thought they were rusty and maybe warped. To my surprise when I got the home they were gorgeous. Here's my question, Ralph is sure he bought them in 58 but looking at the badges I don't think he's right. They are black and silver with Niles on them. The serial #'s are between 35,xxx and 40,xxx. Ralph also has had several small strokes in the last 6 months so maybe its affecting his memory. I'm curious if you can give me your opinion on them.
I would also appreciate a rough value if possible. I can't believe how clean they are. Please enjoy and I'll post more pics when I'm done. Thanks! Dan
