Beautiful kit~! So classy and very cool it's been kept together. Original floor tom cradle is something you don't see that often. Many drums were upgraded with legs and brackets. Good stuff there thanks for the pics.

Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

She's a beaut! Makes me really miss my '49 Leedy kit in same wrap and similar config. Maybe I'll get her back some day...
