Hinger Private Collection Now Available

Beautiful 1930's ratchet. As shown in the attached 1933 Ludwig catalog, this was one of the standard traps from the vaudeville era. Our vintage ratchet is in excellent playing condition with only a few small spots of plating loss here and there on the metal frame. The wooden tongues are in excellent condition and the instrument sounds just as one would expect. Complete with original thumb screw to attach the ratchet to the BD counter hoop. This is a must have accessory for a vintage 1930's outfit.
