Single head or does it have a bottom head? Are all the parts there? For some reason the snare strainer is missing most of the time. Is the snare strainer the modified tone control or does it have a full strainer internally mounted? Do you have the pedal and the mount for the pedal? Now I've only seen 1 with the full internally mounted strainer. Most have the modified tone knob. The mount for the pedal can go for $100.00 or more. Slingerland had a special pedal that mounted to just one of the legs. I've only seen pictures of those. If you have a complete 2 headed drum with the pedal and mount it could go for $500.00 or more depending on the condition. The single headed ones don't seem to have as much appeal and don't bring as much. If you found one with a rare finish versus WMP which is the most common. The vintage would matter one from the 20's would be more valuable than one from the late 60's, I'm pretty sure Slingerland made them into the early 70's.

My understanding is that cocktail drums didn't appear until the 1940s (late 40s?). I've always enjoyed these drums!
