JR, looks like an Orange brand. what's under the promark sticker?.. .James

Do you mean the logo on the footboard? I don't think that's a sticker.

I would have steered you towards Capelle as the French manufacturer since Orange was London/U.K. based. However.....

Nice find JR!!!

.

i am 99% sure that is an Orange hi hat stand from around the 70's. i had one and gave it to Blair. he could probably tell you more.

As far as I know the Capelle, Pro Mark and Orange were the same design.

Differences would be: stickers, logos, Tightening T's or wing nuts.

I think that is it for differences.

I have 2 Pro Marks from the 70's.

Good HH stands.

I know very little about these stands, is my price too high? I'm not even sure if they are sought after, can someone please help, thanks.

Hard to say...

You have to look at the competition, which in this case may even be considered new gear (is the price pushing towards what a new HH stand is going for, and what kind of new one can I get at that price point?).

Then consider the competition in the used market as well. I think this unit make take a specialized buyer unless priced really well, which would then attract someone looking for a good quality unit at a good price (increasing your potential customer base).

Tough to say if you're priced right and I use an example of the ASBA Caroline pedal. There is a dedicated legion of followers for this pedal. There is some mojo and buzz about it as well, which as you know can drive the price up at times. I've seen those pedals go as low as $75 in very good condition and close to $200 for a good or average condition unit. I have two of these pedals in extremely good condition and with spare parts and could probably push the higher end of the price range if I have the right party at the right time.

People that know vintage hardware know the quality of that piece and it may simply be a matter of serendipty - finding the right niche buyer at the right time. You could try posting on eBay with a reserve to gauge the current value.

JR maybe read back thru the want to buy ads. I remember someone wanting one of those a while ago. I think they were looking for a Orange version but being such a close cousin it might be fine.
