Drum #5
There is no label on the inside of this drum and the only marking on the inside is the number "3" hand written in pencil on one of the shell segments. The shell is two plies with and outer ply of painted mahogany running horizontally and segments of maple running vertically. The drum measures 27.5" x 11" and has two maple bass drum hoops that show repair. The 27.5 inch diameter would indicate that it is an American made drum from the 1920s-1930's. The rope has been replaced but all 24 rope hooks appear to be original.
