Welcome to the forum and it sounds like you have some great drums there. The 3d kit that has been in storage has a 13" TT with a 20" BD? Could it be an 8x12" instead of a 13? Or was it possibly a special order with those sizes, 13 & 20?
Camco values Last viewed: 0 seconds ago
I thought the moire kit would have been higher valued than the maple set just for the fact that I have rarely seen any Oaklawn 3D moire available anywhere, whereas maple seems to quite common.

We've seen a few 1960s Camcos sell in excess of $6500.00 for a matched four piece kit. Since a 13" tom was never a catalog option with a 20" bass drum and w/o some sort of proof of the kit being a special order, they will be seen as orphans pieced together. So the odds of you getting that much is astronomical regardless of condition.

It doesn't have to be a cataloged kit to be considered a kit. My 12x20 bass is not catalogued. Pretty darn sure my kit was not orphaned together unless there is an abundance of burgundy sparkle singles out there all with Oaklawn non-USA Badges Laughing H

Yeah that looks great together....
These oval badged Oaklawns should have brass grommets identical to the 1960s Ludwig grommets used on the Keystone Badges. Here we see they even installed the badge facing backwards.

I just measured properly this time and strange as it seems both side toms are 13 inch. I've always tuned them to a different pitch. Could it be this set was once part of a double kick set? Again sorry for no pics yet, I will have them up soon. They have been packed away for some time and I need to empty out a room first to get at all the pieces.
The Oaklawn catalogs show sets with toms in same sizes but those are always 12”.
20”, 16”, 13”, 13” was never a standard configuration but as some people has stated here, with Camco everything seems to be possible and the catalogs can hardly be used as a reference.
Double bass drum sets were indeed offered but should have 2X12” toms and those bass drum should be virgin.

I thought I read somewhere, and in more than one of the vintage drum books that the catalogs are the "Primary reference source" for vintage drum collectors. ?
