1960's Ludwig #1400 Flat base cymbal stands?

A sexy red lawnmower. Nice spotting

LoLoLoLo Is all I have to say about that.

But yes those flat base stands caught my eye.

Yup. Three flat based stands. All of them have the block logo. One of them has all "Mickey mouse" wing screws, the other two have the later T-handles. All of them have a warning sticker reminding you not to tighten the wing screw without the middle section inserted.

I scrambled down there and found them listed as "off brand cymbal stand" they were $14.95 each. The guy gave them to me for $13 each since I was buying all three.

Great score!

I once spotted a vintage Paiste red/black label Formula 602 16" late 70's era crash that came with a cheapo Mapex drum kit..

The cymbal itself was tilted down and turned towards the kit, I but noticed the black logo stamp that was slightly visible in the pic..It may sound a bit difficult to explain, but being a vintage Paiste man, i spotted it quickly. I offered to buy it off the guy without the kit, but he sold it a day later along with the cymbal.. The crash itself was worth more than those cheapo Mapex drums..

Thanks to Ringo these sell for a lot more than they really should when being sold by drum specialists (or pursued by drum specialists in open bidding) but their simplicity does allow them the slip under the radar sometimes. I bought a couple recently at Music Go Round for $19 each.

Excellent snag at $13.

Good eye and well done!

A couple of years ago I spotted an original early 20's Ludwig 5x14 8 lugger by seeing the top hoop and clips setup with a beginner set. Made the deal too!
