I picked this up on ebay for $89 to add to my silver sparkle set Im rehabing.

15x10 snare.

When I took it apart for cleaning I noticed the wrap is cut into the shell?

It sure cleaned up nice though!

I have a new snare on the way for it and will get new heads shortly.

Any idea what its worth?

Try some Simichrome or Flitz metal polish on the metal parts........(along with about 3 rolls of paper towels/elbow grease) ,and they will shine like a mirror!

Cool I was hoping you had a typo. you drum is just so cool. are you positive of the measurements 10x15"? if it is? this was a special order for a school most likely with the long classic lug on it! this is such a cool drum!!

yup, 10 x 15! Should sound amazing when Im done!

I've never seen another one like it during my search of the intarwebz.

Any idea on value? Was $89 a good deal?

edit:

I dont want the hardware to shine, loooove that patina'd nickle finish

Hell of a deal, the value is probably $125.00 or so your drum has NOB parts nickle over brass, brass hoops are my favorite, the give the drum more focus, take a magnet and see if it sticks to your hoops if so they are steel, if not brass, probably yours are brass.
