Found while cleaning my parents attic after my dad died. I did a little research on them, but would like to find out more or get some direction to research them better.

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v645/tracerace/jocvids008.jpg[/IMG] I went by the measuring guide as best I understood it. Elkhart is 70 miles from where I live. I read a little history about Conn drums. I could not find serial numbers back this far, could they be from 1904 or so? Thanks for any input or help. I have more pictures and all the hardware seems to be present and intact. I am not a collector and I would like to see them in the hands of someone who can appreciate their history and value.

More pics would help, a pic of the hardware,above pic of both skin sides would help,drum looks like a military side or snare drum for use in the feild,late 1800.s or early 1900's ,just a guess.
