Only a VDF'er would know exactly what Oscar the Grouch green is. Nice find. Yeah antiques stores usually have nothing drum wise or whatever they have is insanely overpriced.

Very cool.

Is it 6.5 or 7" deep?

6.5 is a "Floor Show" and 7" is a "Concert" model.

I would clean it really well, get it in great shape with a little age showing and you`ll probably find a guy with a green set and WMP snare first.

Great find....and I agree...clean it up...and either sell to buy the amp or trade for it...great snare..
