$3K is currently my highest bid. I'm still "high bidder" at $2,100 up to the $3K mark...

Leedy endorsers from the 1940's. Because Leedy was less popular than Ludwig or Slingerland at that time, most of the names will not be familiar.

thank you very much.. It would be interesting to research and see whatever happened to all those drummers.. Cool snare.

Yeah, that would be interesting. I wonder if any are still living.

One thing I haven't seen discussed yet is the size of the snare. The seller states that it's 15", but also got the other drum sizes wrong.

I know Leedy offered 15" snare drums at various points, but I don't know about this particular drum/year/model.

Do you folks think this is a 14" or 15" snare?

Just to give an idea of a price from the 1941 catalog - the Night Club Outfit here - at $350 would be more than $4200 at today's dollars.

And I haven't seen a 15" snare drum offered in the Leedy catalogs. I think the seller is measuring the total diameter of the drum....no big deal....I think.

A real cool drum kt...
