Without pics it's a tough one. here give this a look. maybe it will help you determine what you have. http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/george-b-stone.html

Mark - how 'rare' are these drums? Do you know? I have heard of them, but I don't think I've ever seen one. Do you know if they were a well-built series of drums? Or was it run-of-the-mill stuff?

John, these are rolls royce class drums some of the best there is. Very small collectors group on them though.

These drums are great amd well..I have seen snare drum made by them but not to many bass drums.Photo's would help if you can post them.Hard to tell what the drum is worth is comes down to questions the condition of drum,color, single lug or double lug ete.I think the size you posted is wrong drum should be 30" head and 14" deep..Mikey.

Mark: I just took a look at the Geo B. Stone & Son snare drums in the link you provided and I've got a J.W. York & Sons snare that looks extremely close to one of theirs (pic attached). Mine's got a diameter of 16" which I thought was rather unique.

Whether it is single or double tension will affect the value,I don't know if they made double tension BD's or not I think the snares were single ply steam bent.I believe they were considered top level pro drums at the time.A lot of the equipment/tooling used to make those drums is still in use,in 1957 the tooling was sold to Ralph Eames,who started Eames Drums,in 1977 Joe MacSweeney bought Eames and still makes drums to this day.His 15-24 ply birch snares are called Master Model,named after the Stone top of the line snares.I don't know where you are but those usually pop up in the New England/North east.As to value I would guess 150.00 250.00 if all original and in decent condition.

OldSchool.Your snare drum made by J.W. York & Sons is the same snare made byGeo. B Stone and Sons.It shows up in the 1925 catalog the model is "Victory Orch." model.. I have been told that both of these snare drums were made by "Leedy" and sold to both of these companys..Mikey

Alittle more on the Geo.B Stone drums.Yes they did sell bass drums most are single tension rod's with no lugs on the shell.When you did order these bass drums you could have added the single lug in the middle of the shell but the drum was shell a single tension drum.Stone sold bass drums from 10'' deep to 21'' deep head sizes are from 24'' to 38''.The models of these drums were "Stone Professional" They also had these models "Stone Military" these had one single lug in middle of shell.And the "Victory model" single lug but the funny thing you could order any of these bass drums with "Rope and Leather ears" on them with out any lugs or tension rods..They also made a "Stone Separate Tension bass drum" thats the model in the catalog these were from 10'' to 20'' deep and the head size are from 24" to 32".. One other bass drum they made was "Stone Trap-Door bass drum" the funny thing about these drums was that half the lugs on the drum were single tension with no lugs and the other half were separate tension lugs..All of these drums are listed in the 1925 Stone catalog...Mikey
