This is a completely original Ludwig "Universal" snare drum from the 1920's. As shown in the attached 1927 Ludwig catalog, the Universal metal shell model has a light-weight, two-piece nickel over brass shell, 6 tube lugs, and straight, no-flange nickel over steel rims. This example has a unique "SuperTone" stamp on the top rim. This was most likely a drum made by Ludwig and sold by an independent drum company which was not uncommon during the early 20th century. It is in near mint condition with all original parts including wire wound silk snares. There is no rust on the steel parts and the nickel plated parts are still bright. This will make a great display or player drum. With a little work this brass shell drum with its attractive 4" x 14" shell size could be an ideal drum for a working percussionist.
