    Description

    This is a beautiful, all-original condition, 1920s Leedy snare drum. It has a very dark, possibly mahogany, main shell with what looks like maple hoops. It is a six-lug drums with all original hardware. The head has a diameter of 13" and the depth of the shell is 7.5". The heads on this are possibly original. They look like calf skin heads.
    What I find very odd is there are no dents from the drumsticks in the heads and no dents in the wood rim from being played. It is in
    amazing
    condition for a hundred-year-old drum. This would be a marching-type drum but could very easily be converted to be played with a drum set if you wanted a unique sound. The drum looks to be very round and the loops do not look to be warped.
    This comes with the original canvas carrying case / bag. It probably explains why this drum is in such amazing condition when I found it. The drum was probably stored inside the case for a hundred years.
    A beautiful example.
