Hi,

I got this drum at the Chicago Vintage Drum Show many years ago.

The gold plated shell has some nice engraving and the hardware is in great shape. I did notice that the tension rods are the slotted Leedy type tension rods. I am not sure if C. G. Conn used slotted tension before they acquired Leedy (and Ludwig).

Of-the-era calf heads and Snappi-Snares rounded out this restoration.

 Enjoy!
