They are more likely 60's drums then 50's...........

If paper tags inside.......after 63-64

I took off the head on the Kick...here is a photo of the sticker and also the edges of the kick. Does that help determine exact year and value?

Yes it does, they are 60's, the screws also help date them,it also will help if you are going to sale them, can I ask why are you thinking of selling this kit? from what I've seen so far it is stellar! and they bring big bucks if you didn't already know this?

I wanted to keep them but really am not worthy of them. I am a guitarist, not a drummer. I would hope they would end up in the hands of someone who could really use and appreciate them.

Approximately, how much would I be able to sale the set? Any guesstimates?

I think the blue sparkle and 20/13/16 sizes would be detrimental to their value, although they do look nice.

Cool, I respect that. I play guitar and own a few myself, It really depends on the condition, are there any Issues with them?, is the wrap in good condition any color fade? rips tears etc, also what all are you selling with the kit? hardware, cymbals etc, also did you buy this kit as it's pictured? Gretsch owners are some of the most anal and knowledgeable collectors and owners.

What about the cocktail kit? Lets see pics of that.

What guitars and amps do you play and have?

Here are a few of the cocktail set..

champagne sparkle!!, that gretsch pedal is the bees knees super cool Cool1!!!, What is your dogs name?
