Hi,
I just got this one off of eBay: 1900s 3.5x15.5 Duplex snare drum.
The drum is all original, in excellent-plus condition and needs no cleaning or restoration.
Extra bonuses were the original case and the original Duplex drum key...enjoy!

Cloth snares are like waxed shoelaces wrapped in a wide coil of lightweight wire (thread, really).
I saw that auction and thought, "Mike Curotto will soon own that one." I really did! And sure enough....

Those hoops appear to be rosewood! is that correct?

That's wire-wound silk. Before that was woven silk and/or cotton, with no metal component in them. Kind of like an elegant gut snare. They didn't hold up too well and are hard to find in good condition.
Very nice Mike, old and all original, and look at that case, nice score...Mouse
