I am trying to identify a Slingerland snare. It is an all original 1964 vintage with the dimensions of 14" x 5.5" it's a chrome over brass and a serial # 49XXX. I don't know what model this is.
Also what would people value this at?
Images of the snare are attached.
Cheers for your insight.
The '64 Slingerland catalog would've listed that drum as a "Deluxe Student Model".
Six-lug student model drums aren't particularly rare and don't command the same prices as Slingerland Radio King drums. They are good drums, though, and are particularly suited to low-tension tuning and brush work. My guess on a ballpark price would be $150-ish.
Your photos show a student model drum ,but you state in your discription a chrome over brass drum.Thats a horse of a different color.Photos please.

I guessed he might be referring to chrome-over-brass hoops since the pictured drum obviously isn't COB.
