I think the lugs are on p 193 (Ludwig Book) - WFL LUGS. Item 2. says the lug pictured was "the same, without the cutout, For wood-shell drums."

1937 to 1947.

What say you?

It's definitely got the Funhouse look to it. The lugs don't look evenly spaced. It's almost as if the strainer is where a lug used to be and another lug was added to each side of the snare mechanism. Very interesting.

That would be one and the same!! the Interior of the shell should be natural mahogany not painted! and like I said I have never seen the air vent hole like this either??

Maybe someone painted it a long time ago when it was cool to do that.

I haven't got an answer from the seller yet.

I think it's a 'rare' individual piece..........worth at least $40 - to someone

you may be right about the paint, and the parts are worth the asking price!! the badge is worth that! it may be a cool little drum!
