Hey guys, here's my latest pawn shop find. Paid $47. Any idea what year and configuration this is? Appears to be a 30 degree bearing edge, six lugs, chrome, single flanged hoop claws (or perhaps flangeless?) 3 ply appears to be mahogany/gum/mahogany (just guessing on that middle ply, not 100% sure), no reinforcement ring. WMP in relatively good condition. My best guess is this catalog picture from a 1961 catalog called a "Dixieland Seperate tension snare drum". No sticker on the inside, grey painted interior. Anyone?

Six lugs with single flange hoops and a renown throw off. Looks like a Dixieland to me. Later ones had die casts and are nice sounding drums. The early ones are nice too but those hoops tend to get bent up under tension. I've never heard a three ply one though.
Pretty sweet deal for $47 regardless. I'd be happy as can be if I'd made that purchase.
