A long shot, I know, but perhaps someone has seen or actually has two of my old kits that I'd love to get back:

1. Ludwig Blue Sparkle -- 14x22 transition badge, 1959 date stamp, rail consolette, natural interior, spurs were replaced with curved ones; 9x13 transition badge tom, 1959 date stamp; floor tom is a 16x16 Slingerland Blue Sparkle w/pushbutton leg brackets, no badge or vent

2. Pearl wood/fiberglass, white, from around 1976: 14x24,9x13,10x14,16x16,16x18 + white fiberglass concert toms 6,8,10,12. The 10&12 were modified to be double-headed. Bass drum was upgraded to newer spurs and Vari-Set style mount

Both kits were sold in the Western Massachusetts area. The Ludwig/Slingy kit left me around 1976/77; the Pearl W/F kit departed around 1982
