Mastro,

Thank you very much for your helpful insight into the W&A pieces and your knowledge on them.

Your welcome but truthfully I don't think I know practically anything about them! Info doesn't abound.

The lack of info is odd seeing how common their stuff was (Ludwig, Slingerland, Rogers... everybody seemed to use their stands), and it's likely lots of drummers have or have had W&A gear and don't even realize it.

So famous you've never hear of them. wow! that's famous!

So I'm actually keenly interested in any info anybody has on their stuff, in particular I'd love to see some of their old catalogs. I found a picture of one once so I know they had them, mainly geared towards drum companies.

Most people have seen their Buck Rogers snare stand, and you see old saxophone stands that look very similar.
