should i have started a new thread for my drums?

From the date stamp, it appears to be 1946.

thanks Rocketman! so that number was april 46?

any idea what the white dot is?

this bass drum (in pics 26") is not the one I mentioned earlier in this tread. I will post pics of that later.

for this 26" drum there is a matching mounted tom that clamps onto the hoop and feet that clamp on as well. And a ww2 all wood floor tom painted black. both toms have tacked pig skin bottom heads.

Yes it would be good to get these drums shown off. Yours are definitely earlier Leedy - like Rocketman says 1946. Black Diamond pearl with maple interiors (I think). Definitely put up some more pictures if you have the chance?

what is the easiest/best way to post pictures on this site????

Ok I will post the leedy/slingy kit here and then when i get pics of the rest of the older leedys I will start a new thread with those. So I think I have a Shelly Manne kit. I don't have the floor tom. the bass and tom don't have the blue badge but they were purchased as a set.

Here's my slingerleedy 8x12,16x16,14x22 with a chrome over brass 5x14.

No badges on Tom and floor tom. M stamps inside dated 62 and 64.
