This is a terrific Slingerland mid-1940's Radio King ride tom in "as found" condition. This tom tom came from a mid-1940's outfit where the snare drum had an aluminum & maroon cloud badge. The black diamond pearl wrap has darkened over the years from a bluish color to a nice charcoal gray. All parts are original to the drum right down to the Radio King logo heads. Given the all-original condition of the drum we have left the drum in "as found" condition so the new owner can restore the drum as desired. Everything works perfectly on the drum. The resonant head has a small split in it but still functions as a resonant head. This is a rare drum that will make a nice addition to a 1940's Radio King outfit.
