I've got a vintage Slingerland snare that I'm going to be selling in the immediate future since the drum simply isn't being utilized.

It's in what I'd consider an eggshell (?) color, with a 56-59 Chicago badge, eight lugs, rim clips and 3-point strainer. I'm attempting to properly identify the drum so that I don't provide any misleading information to potential buyers. Here are a few of my concerns:

1. I originally thought the model was the Student Model Radio King. However, based on the research I've done I noticed that this model came with the 3-point strainer in Slingerland's 1955 catalog but with the Rapid strainer in the company's 1959 catalog. Since the badge on my drum indicates a date of manufacture of 1956-1959, shouldn't mine have the Rapid strainer in lieu of the 3-point? Can one of you Slingy experts verify that this particular drum is, in fact, a Student Model Radio King?

2. Is the eggshell painted finish on the drum factory issued? I've seen some Slingy drums in this color but I'm not sure if the shells were painted this color or whether it was a plastic wrap I was viewing.

3. Please have a look at the grommet in the pics from the interior of the shell. Is this how they were installed during this era or does the grommet appear to have been tampered with in some way?

4. From the pics of the interior shell you'll see two types of screws and washers. Do any of you know which of these was original to the drum?

5. Are there any other "questionable" issues that you notice on the drum that should be brought to my attention prior to me listing it for sale?

6. I don't believe in parting out a perfectly functional drum. However, in this particular case, would it make more sense to sell the 3-point strainer and/or any other components as "stand-alone" items? I only ask because I doubt that this particular finish would be considered desirable to players or collectors. Am I mistaken in this regard?

THANKS in advance for your time and your help. I appreciate it!
