Wow,Some years ago[over 10 years] i got three lamp tables two snares if i recall 14x15 or 14x16 ludwigs and a 28" bass drum.Drums were 1940s or so.They were painted lime green,they added a light inside each one with a round piece of glass on top,,No legs were added..the bass was the same way lights added ete,ete...I give a whole 50.00 for all of them[at a artist sale at a high school they got them from the Band room of junk drums]..I cleaned them up and sold them as vintage drums for something like 300.00 or so...Mikey
I just picked up two of these snares and they were sold to me as end tables!

They were 100 for the pair and I gave her $75. I'm a sucker for a mistreated drum but I will say, the Keith Moon vistalite fish tank is tempting...
If you care to share any thoughts as to how to properly refurbish them, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Remove hardware and badge. Strip paint. Sand. Refinish to taste. (Something like Watco Rejuvenating Oil might be a good low-gloss choice, and it does seem to make older dry wood happy.) Replace badge. Remove hardware rust w/electrolysis and/or manual labor. Polish hardware. Assemble to oohs and ahhs.
I have a slingy 20" floor tom I was using as a trash can in my drum room, with a vintage 22" Zildjian ride for the lid lol I made a cocktail kit out of it now.
