Greetings,
If you can believe it, this was essentially a "throw in" with a used kit I got for $80. Guy had no idea what he had, and neither did I until I had already given him the money and was loading it into my car, because it wasn't in the pictures on Craigslist. I scored!
Anyway, I have a few questions:
1. Can anyone tell me, based on the Model and Serial Number (or throw-off) what year this would be from? It has 10 lugs and die cast hoops.
2. Is this truly a "COW" (Chrome Over Wood), or is it just chrome wrap over the wood shell? There is a seam on the chrome wrap.
3. If it is just chrome wrap, what is the best way to clean and polish it? Should I use products for chrome (Nevr Dull, etc.) or should I use products for wrap (Novus, etc.)?
4. Judging just by the drum alone (assuming average condition-all factory parts are present), what would be an accurate re-sale value for this drum? Not planning on selling it just yet, but I want to know what kind of drum I am dealing with value wise.
Thanks for your help!
