For auction is awesome vintage Ludwig 6 lug snare drum with pre-serial number WFL badge and 3-ply natural mahogany shell. It appears to be all original except for maybe the drum heads.  Inside the shell is stamped May 26 1958.  Hoops do not attract a magnet so I assume are plated brass.  The throw-off has some pitting but the lugs and hoops are very clean.  Shell has no tone control installed. Snare wires are Ludwig.  Outer shell has some crazing and minor scuffs and scratches and has a nice shiny finish. Drum has been cleaned, waxed, oiled and is ready to play.  Batter head is a Remo Vintage Emperor Coated, resonant head Is a Weather King Ambassador Clear, both have some minor scuffs and dings and are quite functional.  Shipping by UPS Ground in the U.S. is $45.00.
