Very early 60'-61 maybe.Very soo after the move from Chicago to Niles.

Solid shell?
Try to get some pictures of the strainer and the inner shell if you can, that way we can tell what model it is and what condition its in. There can be large differences in price depending upon whether you're looking at a Radio King (usually single ply shell), Hollywood Ace (3 ply shell), or something else.
In general 50-60's Radio Kings (in good shape) tend to sell on Ebay from about $350-$600, with some selling slightly higher every so often. It all depends on condition and rarity of the drum. The Hollywood Ace model, while still a spectacular sounding drum, usually goes for about $150-300, with some slightly higher or lower. Again, this range is based only on what Ive seen these sell for on ebay.
Good luck!

Here come some more pics. Thanks for the info. Paid a total of $80 shipped which seemed safe. Just need a top rim.
this is the 3 ply model not a solid shell model
Way closer to a 1965 model with that serial.
Looks like a 7 inch deep Hollywood Ace to me..... on the rare side with that depth.
Rather purrrrdy, too !!
Good find..especially for $80!
