That is far all-the-way out !!!

What year, do you think ?

Hi Kevin,

The year is unknown I am trying to find that out. But I reckon around about 1908 to 1914. I recently read that a Kitchen & Co made Amps for Marshall in the 1960's but not sure if it is the same company. In the next couple of days I will be posting a pic of the restored drum, in it's former glory as it would have been left by the soldier who died in the 1st World War.

Thanks for looking & messaging

I'm a sucker for the turn of the century survivors....

I have a Lyon & Healy from that era.....my second....I foolishly sold my first one.

Your Lyon & Healy looks absolutely fab, i have recently just picked up a 1972 royal star drum kit pre tama looks and sounds top class.

What size is it ? 4x16"

Hi

The shell is 14.5" x 3.5". The actual drum heads are original once cleaned up is gonna look top class. I am actually trying to find out more about Kitchen & Co.

Thanks

sean

the Kitchen Co. your asking about, associated with Marshall Amps was from the 60's this is the book that you can get the info from I have it but I am not at home at the moment too read that article. A History of Marshall The Illustrated Story Of The Sound Of Rock.http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-history-of-marshall-valve-guitar-amplifiers-1962-1992-michael-doyle/1105950599

Thanks for the info, i also found out that from the census of 1911 in leeds a Mr Robert Snowden Kitchen had a shop selling and repairing musical instruments. There was a shop in leeds called Kitchens music shop. The drum is a real mystery. Im wondering if all the kitchen branches are connected.

This is from the marshall book, page #87 in about 1966 Kitchen were a chain of music shops around North of England. Who approached either Jim Marshall or Rose Morris for their own special run of amps
