Gretsch COB round badge assistance Last viewed: 7 hours ago

Posts: 2 Threads: 1

Hi there,

I've had this lovely drum for about 10 years now with out really knowing much about it. I've decided to sell it and need to know when and where it came from and also what price I should ask for it.

It measures at 14x6 (I'm guessing this should be 5 if I measure ignoring the rim?)

I was hoping you lovely people could help me

Here are the pics

Let me know if you need anything else.

Many thanks !

I'd agree here. Maybe $350 on a good day. Nice drum though. Those have a really good sound when tuned properly.

Cleaned with good chrome might get you close to $400.

Someone involved with installing that round badge may have had too much of a good time the night before. High times in Brooklyn.

Nice spot-on with that badge! The other day, somebody was asking who had the best badge...Well, this badge is the funniest I've ever seen. Somebody should have been dope slapped after letting that one leave the factory.

If you are selling it, leave the cleaning and tuning to the new owner. Just my 2 cents.
