Hey guys, is there any chance that SS is a brass shell? I don't see any pitting or flaking only chrome that needs polishing. Also, the spacing of the lug "steps" looks more like the brass models (wider). Or, where there no 63-64 SS's with brass shells?

WOW. Thanks guys!!! What a great source of information!!! Yea, it was a pretty awesome find in the basement. I actually have one more Ludwig that Ill post pictures of too. As for the guards that someone mentioned, I think I might have those....Ill post pictures of that too. I remember playing the two tone Pioneer as a kid...didn't know it was still in my basement.

I know they are in kinda rough shape, but does anyone have a possible value for these? Thanks for all the info!!!

it would be uncommon to see a brass shell in that particular era. they were into the ludalloy production by this time. might has brass hoops or one each brass/steel.

+1 to Mike as usual!!Yes Sir

If you got the snare guards, it could be a nice adition to complete the SS!!

Show us some pics! regards!!Walking

Thanks for all the info guys. I'm at work tonight so Ill get some pics put up tomorrow. The third snare I have is chrome looking, keystone badge and I think labled either in the 200*** or 700***s. That one is complete and playable.

Heres a few more of the Pioneer I had on my phone.

Its been a while since I have been on here....was checking to see if anyone was interested in buy these. I can get more pictures if needed. Thanks!
