Anyone know anything about this ancient artifact? I couldn't find a name or badge other than what's printed on the calf skin.

I was thinking Slingerland, just because of the Radio King Skin, but I couldn't find any Slingerland snare with hardware like this. Closest thing I've found so far is this Lyon & Healy with very similar "claws" holding the hoop.

I'm thinking possibly a Wilson.

You may be right! Not only the claws but the single post lug looks right.

I love the system for taking up the slack as the gut snares stretch (seen in the last photo I posted)!
