So I finished watching a movie and saw this on ebay. Rolled the dice and bought it. I hope its a nice kit as I ended up selling my 18" bop kit. Still as fate would have it tonight I found a Gretsch 4244 18x14 so I have that size covered again.

Wow that's a keeper. No way I'd ever sell that one!!
Very nice! Yes - it's funny how stuff tends to fall in ones lap sometimes. Those are beauties....and to have the 18 again - perfect.
Seller got back to me with pictures. We have silver sealer and paper tags! Toms are as I suspected 12x8 and 14x14 (models 4415 and 4417). If the bass drum had any extra holes ever I can't see them. Everything looks super clean and as it should.

Is the bass a converted 16" floor tom? It's hard to tell from the pictures what color the finish is. Nice score.
Thanks guys. I know there are a lot of doubters...just like with my 18" bass drum from the 60s. How many of us though have been part of the Gretsch 60's bop club?

Very cool Manny...if the bass drum is original I don't have to tell you how rare it is...
It is awesome Manny! Congratulations!
