Could this be a vintage Gretsch snare stand? Last viewed: 2 hours ago

Found this at a thrift shop and to the best of my research it appears to be an old Gretsch stand. There are no logo's but the rubber feet appear to look like the Gretsch ones from an old ad. Any help would be appreciated...thanks

I believe so because the 1970's (SSB) brushed Aluminum snare drum I recently acquired had that very stand with it.

It looks very much like the original stand that came with my 50s RB kit, though the base on this one is a little flatter than mine -- the support arms on my stand go to about halfway up the shaft. I'd guess that that's a design feature that was changed over the years.

I'm told Gretsch used Walberg & Auge hardware in the 50s, so assuming they continued to do so for some time, you've probably got yourself a W&A snare stand that may have been paired with a Gretsch kit at some point.

Kits:
1950s Gretsch Name Band in Midnight Blue Pearl (13/16/22/14sn)
1965/66 Ludwig Club Dates rewrapped in Black Diamond Pearl (12/15/20)
