Uncatalogued 1945 Blue Marine Pearl Slingerland Radio King Snare

November 29, 2025 Edward Tucker

Uncatalogued 1945 Blue Marine Pearl Slingerland Radio King aluminum and maroon badge 7.5” x 14” solid shell nickel over brass hoops snare. 100% original including the heads, canvas bag, key, wires, tin straps and sticks.

 The color is so vibrant and bright it was shocking once I cleaned all the dirt off.

 This drum is drop dead mint, the original wrap has zero discoloration or fade and is flawless with no cracks, chips or lift, the nickel plating is so shiny it almost looks like chrome.

 This is most certainly one of the Crown Jewels of my collection.

Stay tuned…
