1920's Wilson Bros. Snare Drum Last viewed: 8 hours ago

Loading...

4" x 14" Wilson Bros snare drum from around the late teens to 1920's, Nickel over alloy(brass?) shell with a vertical seam. Has unique wood veneer inside the drum attached by the lug screws which was factory as near as I have been able to find out. All there except missing the throw-off lever. Still functions fine without it but to turn snares off you must loosen the tension screw. All original I believe. Was part of a larger estate buy of mine recently and is something I will never use since I am into the 60's era of vintage drums. A cool drum for sure, but would only be wall art for me, hopefully you old vintage snare guys can use something like this. Thanks to those on this forum who identified this snare for me. Just completely rehabbed and ready to go. Updated photos showing rehabbed drum

Asking $165 shipped
