So, there I was, perusing eBay for nice snare drums, when I stumble upon this gorgeous Dayton-era Black Onyx Powertone. After I oohed and aahed over the shiny drum, it immediately struck me that it wasn't what it appeared to be. I'll post just one picture and see if everyone can spot the issues.
Here's the text of the auction...Rogers Black Onyx Powertone. Dayton. 14 X 5. Mint. Color is vibrant, no gouges or splits. Chrome is perfect, without corrosion. Strainer perfect. Comes with Impact bag. You will not be disappointed with this drum!
Oh yeah, it's item number 131716275194
