Okay here is the inventory of my entire kit for sale:
[SIZE="4"]Vintage 1964 Silver Sparkle Gretsch Drum Kit [/SIZE]
I am the second owner of the Gretsch Kit and have owned them since the early 1970's. I am the original owner of everything else listed.
The Kit includes the following: Gretsch Drums; 1) 12"x8" Rack Tom, model #4415, (missing serial # sticker), 2) 13"x9" Rack Tom model #4416, serial # 21018, 3) 16"x16" Floor Tom, model #4418, serial #82969 & 4) 24"x14" Bass Drum, (missing the model and serial #). Based on my research, and I am not an expert, it appears that this bass drum may be from another kit from the 1950's. All Gretsch Drums have the original round brass Gretsch Badge. All toms have the silver interior.
Imperfections include the following: 1) the Bass Drum & Floor Tom have some writing made w/magic marker on the inside shells, 2) the Bass Drum & Floor Tom both have some minor deterioration and separation at the seams, 3) the Rack Toms were drilled to fit Tama hardware thus the four holes showing are from the original Gretsch hardware, (which are no longer in my possession however can be purchased rather easily on drum boards and on Ebay & as such restored to original condition, {the original hardware will cover the 2 Tama holes}), 4) the Bass Drum's wooden rims, (black), are not original, (originals, {black & silver}, were warped and thus replaced), 5) the muffler for the Bass Drum is missing although original hardware is still installed, 6) the 12" Rack Tom is missing the knob for the bottom muffler, (original hardware is installed), 7) the 13" Rack Tom is missing the bottom muffler and assembly and 8) one of the wing nuts for the Floor Tom legs was stripped thus this was tapped and replaced with a larger nut. 8) Silver sparkle may not have been the original color of the bass drum...it may have been rewrapped to match the other drums....it was silver sparkle when I purchased it in the 70's.

(Note: the styrofoam inserts in the large Calzone case is deteriorating due to age & needs replacement).
