Ok Rogers Experts, who can tell me the years that Rogers made the Holiday line in Fullerton? I have a Rogers floor tom (that I will be posting in the For Sale section soon) but I need help trying to put a date on it. I'm more of a Ludwig guy, but came up on this floor tom in a trade. Below is the paper tag inside the drum. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The fullerton era for rogers was approx 1969 to 9/72,rogers started using the 9/72 label up until the memriloc era,late 1975 to 1976
Awesome, man...thanks a lot! Good to know.
1969 most likely on your drum they went to brown tags with powertone after that....
Good to know. Much appreciated.
also the 1969 Holiday models had the machined collets and the machined floor tom brackets some kits were even half Holiday and half powertone which by all means were the same ... but I have only seen 69 holidays after that they were all Powertone...
So a Rogers Holiday Fullerton is 1969, and 1970 Holiday switched to Powertone correct?

Patience grasshopper. The Rogers way often twists and turns . . .
Actually, there are Powertone tags from Dayton from 1966-1969. Then there are Powertone tags from Fullerton from 1969. The tags are marked 'Dayton Ohio' and 'Fullerton, Calif', respectively. The font is different for the word 'Powertone' but the tag is very similar. The Dayton drums were assembled under difficult conditions because of the fire which destroyed the Covington plant.
Ok- but my primary query is- a Fullerton Holiday was built in '69 or possibly earlier if it was from the last batch of Ohio ones correct? Serial numbers of 232xx, 209xx etc..
We need pictures, good pictures, inside and outside, for any meaningful discussion on this.
