I was looking at a Rogers set the other day. It had two 12" toms, a 16" floor tom and a 22" bass drum (all in pretty good condition). It was a natural wood stain. Apparently the wrap was taken off. The model number said 11515. The model name was blackened out with a sharpie and above it "Holiday" was typed out. Was this common? What year are these drums from? The person wanted $1,600. Is this reasonable?

Twin 12" toms was likely a Top Hat model. Early 60's until last catalog I could find that model was 1965, but think they were in 1966 as well. Mine was marked Dayton. Would help if you had city info on label.
Which style tom holder does it have? Single hex rod with clamp on rods, or later larger Swivomatic holder with built in twin holder?
Possible for them to be Wildwood set, which was only really offered in 12 tom size, though have only seen them with single tom. The maple wrap had color streaks in the veneer.
Wildwood veneer is only way to be worth $1600 IMHO, without set of hardware. Handwritten update on model name of Holiday not uncommon.
It said Cleveland on the label and it was the Swivomatic holder. Thanks!
This is Wildwood. One of the vintage drum dealers had this for sale a couple of years back. Notice that they seem to have made so few that the layout is the same on both of the 12-inch toms. This set was 20, 12, 12, 16 with a matching PowerTone.
Wildwood will not have Cleveland Tags.
