One thing of note...

There was a Gretsch kit for sale within the last couple of years that had a wrap that was never in any catalog (it looked a table top from a 1950's diner table). I think the consensus was that maybe they made the kit as a super special custom order for someone, or Gretsch was thinking about offering the wrap, and wanted to make a sample kit to see how it looked. In any case, it's entirely plausible that your wrap is original.

Who cleans a Copper gromet so shiny and even cleans the inside of the gromet, all without ever even the slightest touching what should be a gunmetal blue finnish under the raised print ??

Either that badge was changed, or added, it`s suspect !!

...and Bob's your uncle, it sounds ptetty decent as a tom too.

No,..Bob`s my brother,..Ernie is my uncle, and Jen is my auntie,..Neither of them could change that gromet !!

I thought this too when I saw the grommet, I can`t explain the faded turquoise, purples useually fade to that over many years so I only suspect the badge with the new looking gromet !! Then Why ? of course !!

From what I see, none of the grommets or tacks should come that close to the lettering !! A quality drum co. would make badges so that altering or removal will show !!

You guys were right! It is a 90s wrap, electric turquoise, as used by dw and premier.

Thanks. My chances of getting a matching rack tom are looking up.
