I think it's been done, several times.

Check with Rob Cook before wasting your time and efforts.

You might find what you are looking for using google books. This is not your regular google search. First navigate to google.com, then at the top of the page, click 'more', then 'books'. There are TONS of articles and pictures related to your topic, but you'll have to determine if copyrights have expired.

While there have been numerous books written about vintage drums, they focus on drum-set type instruments. Very little has been written about marching drums.

I have catalog pages in PDF form, but they're copyright Clay Taylor Green, who scanned them with Ludwig's permission.

What you're asking for is not simple and could take quite some time, and some expense, to satisfy.
