Vintage Ludwig Super Snare Drum - circa 1924 - 1928

Description

Ludwig Super Snare Drum - circa 1924 - 1928.
Vintage 1920's Super Ludwig Snare Drum - a legendary snare drum nearly 100 years old.
The Ludwig and Ludwig Super model snare drum, circa 1924-1928. features a nickel-over-brass shell, with fully enclosed inner rim construction, brass clip-style rims, ten tube lugs, and the renown Super-Ludwig snare mechanism. The snare mechanism guards included here were an option on the Super model.
A set of Ludwig's standard gut snares, along with the optional silk wire snares is included, enabling a unique quick-change in the Super's timbre and percussive voicing.  Both snare sets are in excellent condition, with the gut snares currently mounted.
Engraved “Ludwig - Trade Mark” on the shell and the snare lever displays the “Pat 1-29-24” and “Other Pats Pend” embossing.
Does not have "Super Ludwig" engraved on the bottom rim.
....as Ludwig and Ludwig described in their 1924 catalog...
“You can use either gut or wire snares and change in less than a minute. It has every GOOD feature you ever desired in a drum. The Super-Ludwig fills the bill for the drummer who wants the BEST and will have nothing short of that.”
There is a replacement pin on one end of the internal snare actuator rod. The entire snare mechanism works perfectly.
This is a 5 x 14, with Remo heads top and bottom that are probably 30+ years old and should be changed to experience the best sound from this drum. The snare head has a small puncture that has been sealed. Some pitting, slight dings, over all wear from decades of use and ageing is evident.
