"My Dad's kit is stamped 1957 (snare);  the added floor is stamped 1962 and is the only one with chrome plated hoops.  It is really close to mint condition with original heads also in great shape.  The other three pieces are in excellent condition as well - the sizes are so interesting. I found a 1957 WFL catalog and don't see the snare or tom sizes listed!Dad said his Dad took him to Biascos Music store for his 14th birthday.  Dad was born in 43 so that adds up."
