Looks like it to me....look at the bottom rim (to the left of the strainer, but it could be reversed to butt plate side)...there should be a Broadway Standard stamp...?

Unfortunately I don't have the drum in my possession yet. Here is a few more shots. Can you give me a ballpark figure of what I should offer the seller. It looks complete with the exception of a few tension screws.

Thanks

Maybe an Elite model that was stripped of it's black nickle finish? The rims,lugs and strainer look like a nobby gold finish. Mikes the expert on those drums though.

It looks like the shell is that Colonial Gold finish so that drum might be a Colonial Model (I forgot if that's the true name)... I am currently away from my Leedy catalogs but there is a member here named Rich Kalinsky, he'll know the exact name if you want a quick answer. What's the seller asking?

Mike Curotto

Present and accounted for. I've recently moved, so I don't have my Leedy catalogs handy. Yeah, that's a mid-late '20s Professional in that colonial or whatever they called it.

I'd grab it for whatever you can get it for if the drum has no issues. Offer the guy $400 and go from there. I've only seen a few in over 20 years of collecting Leedys.

Ok, thats a start. It is missing a few T rods but I think thats about it. Thanks guys. I'll give an update once I see it in an hour.

I took a chance and bought the drum. Everything is there minus two T's. I was told that modern T's fit before I bought it, but obviously they don't so it might be a while before I get to hear this drum.

I would love more info on it. I can't find much at all outside of what MiKe and Rich have stated.

Is the finish "Colonial gold" for sure? I don't want to clean it yet because I don't want to chance damaging it. Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

I don't know about cleaning it, but you can probably get some reproduction tension rods made.

Good luck.

Stephen

Yes, possibly. I just need the specs.... 10/24 threading?

I'm amazed at how little info exists out there on this drum. The one photo that I found on this forum has no information next to it.....I don't see any catalogs that I can reference either.
