Vintage 1960's CAMCO Oaklawn Studio/Tuxedo 5x14 Snare Drum - Red Sparkle w/ CAMCO Snare Stand and Case
Behold, a Rare Snare! This vintage 60's CAMCO Studio Snare Drum made in Oaklawn, IL U.S.A. is in excellent condition and ALL ORIGINAL down to the chubby washers! The Red Sparkle is timeless and shines just as bright as the day it was crafted. All chrome tuxedo-style lugs and hoops have been meticulously polished, making this incredible drum look show-room ready! Bearing edges are in great shape. Drum has no stripped screws or missing parts. Original snares with no missing or bent strands. This drum also comes with original working throw-off, original strainer and original snare-strings. The brand-new batter and resonant heads have this snare sounding bright and crispy! This unique and highly sought after American-Made snare comes with the original CAMCO Snare Stand and Carrying Case! Snare stand is functional and can be set up and broken down as intended. There is a very small bit of wood splintering on the inside of the drum opposite the drum-key holder (see pics). The original drum key has unfortunately been lost to time, but the drum key holder is present should you ever find one. This incredible relic is priced to move and certainly won't last! Be the coolest drummer on your block with this super-cool piece of American drum-crafting history!
