Hi all,
Happy Holidays to you and yours. This drum was purchased a while back from a collector in Japan . It was time to clean it up.
*1932-33 LUDWIG & LUDWIG 6.5 x 14 LUDWIGOLD STANDARD MODEL
*I am saying 1932-33 because of the internal tone control. Tone controls were first seen at L & L in 1932 and the Ludwigold option ended in 1933.
THE SHELL:
The heavy brass shell was in great shape with no major dents and no extra holes. The Ludwigold finish had a little chipping here and there but overall was in great shape, just a light cleaning was needed.
THE HARDWARE:
The DeLuxe hardware had the normal 90 years of tarnish and rust, especially on the tension rods, collar hooks and tube lugs. Everything cleaned up well.
Of-the-era calf heads and James Snappi-Snares rounded out this restoration.
Enjoy!
