Yes, after looking at your pics again it looks like "new voice".....so very hard to make out the script of the badges against that finish......
Also, that is a Gretsch Renown model snare, but from somewhere between 1958-1964. The lugs from the 40's are much different. Aso, if it were later 60's it would have cast hoops, the silver sealer interior is what would date it only as early as 1958. And one final point, the snare drum is a re-wrap with modern "antique white pearl". The lack of a badge and the small chip pattern of the wrap tip that off, as well as the simulated aged look of the "antique white" wrap.
