Nope! Those aren't for sale. They are one of the best sounding kits i've ever owned. I did a trade for that kit. I have $550 into it :-)
BTW I love walnut but most don't share the love! The 6 ply era started in Oaklawn so it spans 3 eras. If the kit were an LA era kit I would accept your offer to sell as I really don't care for LA Camco drums. But this one is a Chanute with Jasper shells! I also have a COB Chanute snare to go with the kit!
The other kit Orangemi posted is for a Tuxedo kit which won't grab big bucks as it's the "Clubdates" of Camco.
Here's an ARISTOCRAT!

No Doubt, 6ply Jasper era Oaklawns. The U.S.A. on the badge dates them to the 6ply Jasper years.
Actually the floor tom leg mount location indicate 4ply Jasper shells. The kit being a rail mount also leans heavily towards a 4 ply kit.
More OpinionsLaughing H and Guessing! The floor tom legs mounts are exactly as placed in All of the Eras, even the L.A. Era! The rail mount was still an option in the 68/69 Catalog and both the Swinger outfit as well as the Tuxedo Outfit are pictured with it.
This is begining to sound like a DFO thread...DOH

You might want to do more research before posting. I'm referring to the 14" Oaklawn floor tom posted in the auction. 16" floor toms don't follow the same pattern or rule as far as I know.
The burgundy sparkle kit is 4ply and the BDP kit is a 6ply. The mounts/brackets ARE in a different location! They are mounted higher on 6 ply drums.

So which is this FT?
The placement of the floor tom leg brackets are down low on the 14s on some of the L.A. era drums as well! There are examples all over the WWW of them high and low regardless of the era! They Are Not a reliable source of dating OR determining the number of ply's, The Badges Are!

This method only applies to Oaklawn 14" floor toms. All Chanute and LA shells are 6ply shells anyWAYs. And BTW could you please enlighten me on the Oaklawn badge? When did USA first appear? According to your post it was when Camco switched from 4ply to 6ply shells. Or at least that's how it reads. I'm not sure myself but I know it was early 60's as my burgundy sparkle 4ply kit has badges that say USA but my Tuxedo burgundy sparkle 3ply snare does not.
