Yes at least on the first part. I have another kit with keystone badges, clear interiors, and stamped November 1969. I have a 1968 orphan floor tom with white interior. My 1976 Ludwigs don't have date stamps, but they do have clear interiors.

I bought a Ludwig 5 pc off the floor in Jan 1978,24 kick 14 15 mt 20 ft 5" supra with hardware,all the drums were clear maple int except the 20 ft,which was granitone.It was my first new kit and I washed a lot of dishes to pay for it,827.00 worth

I have a 70's 5 piece Classic set in Black Cortex that has a Clear Interior...

His green sparkle was a clear interior. Bonham's daughter pictured with one of his kits.

His mom played too, This is really Joan who had passed last year !!

Not to stir it up more but I think I remember reading Bonham had three or four green sparkle kits. Not sure where I read that but I seem to remember hearing he had a few. Any truth to that?

According to the book "A Thunder Of Drums" by Chris Welch and Geoff Nicholls Jeff Ocheltree is quoted as saying John Bonham had three green sparkle kits and recorded about four albums with them. Pat Bonham John's widow has the 1971 kit which he used on Zep IV and the 71' tour. another green sparkle kit is said to be owned by a collector in Upstate NY. This same book claims Bonham had a Silver Sparkle kit that he got around 1975 but I have never seen a picture of it. I have also heard that the green sparkle kit that is featured in the "Trust Your Ears" video is somewhat misrepresented as an original Bonham kit.

The photo four posts up is a green sparle kit in Bonhams house sit`n next to another green sparkle kit with a coated reso head and felt strip on both heads !! On the other side of that is an amber Vistalite !!

Here's a link to a video Jason had taken inside Old Hyde Bonzo's estate All of John's gold records are displayed. the green sparkles are looking pretty dusty and there appears to be a vista reissue kit pretty eerie. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE-5hV4nS1o&feature=related[/ame]
