Made May 5th of 1954 this is a Leedy & Ludwig 12 (deep) x 15 marching snare in a natural mahogany finish. Mahogany/poplar/mahogany shell with maple reinforcement rings. Clear interior. Nickel over brass hoops and hardware. This shows signs of use with scratches, scuffs, and some gouges in the finish. Nothing too significant. Drum key holder is present, but no key is included. Metal hoops and hardware have some pitting and rust. Both hoops have slight warping, but appears to mostly be on the top lip and should not affect its use. Throw off is 100% functioning. Interior and bearing edges are clean. Batter head is calfskin! It is worn, but has use left. Snare side head has a small tear in it. Still sounds good for now. Wires are modern. They have plenty of play left. See the pictures for more details!
