Hi Guys:
Long-time drummer but a newbie to your community. I have what appears to be an old Leedy snare drum (see photos). Does anyone know what this is, or if it might be worth anything? The throwoff has the engraving:
"Leedy MFG Co" and underneath that it appears to say "Pat Dec 12 '11"
tx, peace
Steve
steve you have an early mutli model leedy, it has the marching belt clip on the top hoop, here this will help from my bud Mark Coopers site. http://www.coopersvintagedrums.com/leedystrainers.htm
I would have thought this to be the "Utility Model." No?

Dave actually it looks to be this model The Reliance model!! Quoted from Mark Coopers site. thanks for the heads up, I was distracted last night when answering this question. The drum pictured below is a 1925 or 1926 Reliance model which shows the Utility strainer. The Utility strainer was first used around 1912 and saw use on various drums over the years. By 1925, it was mainly used on lower line drums.
Thank you guys!
Does it have any value?
peace
Steve
Steve, hope this was of help to you, they sale in the $200.00- $250.00 + range.
Loks to be in great working order. 6luggers are the tops, IMO. How do you like the sound?.....marko (I'd be keeping that one, myself)
Hey Guys, thanks again.
Marko: It's been a while since I've played it. If I get the chance, I'll put it up on the kit and post a recording.
peace and thanks to everyone for the info. Much appreciated!!
Steve
