I count -6-plies. Steve can correct me if I'm wrong, Camco used 4-ply Jasper Maple shells in the early Oaklawn era and 6-ply Jasper Maple shells in the late Oaklawn era. All 60's as far as I know, so early, late, doesn't matter, you got Oaklawn Camco's. The most desirable shells the company ever used. For $600 you stole them!John
John is right, at that price, you stole 'em. Like I told you, these things are insane. Someone once told me that the badges go for around a hundred bucks each. Somewhere, I've got two or three mint, NOS Oaklawn badges. I should sell 'em! lol
I 'might' have a triangle plate and double (not single) tom mount. The lighthouse looking thing and post. I think I've got a couple, if so I can spare one. The down side is I'll be busy as, well, busy until this next weekend. I'll go through my parts then. A trade would be great. Seeing as how this is Camco stuff, I'll take your work van... :)

If I ever meet new to Camco people I alWAYs ask "Do you prefer Gretsch or Rogers drums?"
Gretsch I steer towards Oaklawns, Rogers I steer them towards LAs. There is definitely a difference and that part is personal preference.
I agree completely. I've never owned an 'Oaklawn', but have played on quite a few. That's a great way to state it, DolFan.
Antipodes offer for lugs is something you may want to jump on. Original Camco lugs are nutso hard to find. The re-worked (standard swivel nut) DW lugs work perfectly also. The hardest thing to find, I'd think anyway, would be the spacer riser washers on the bass drum. Luckily, you've got those.
