This is a Slingerland Shur-Grip snare drum muffler in mint condition. As shown in the attached 1936 Slingerland catalog, this little muffler attaches to the snare drum rim and muffles the head. The player can rotate the muffler in an arc to position the felt pad in an infinite number of positions on the head. The length of the arm from the rim is 5 1/2". The felt pad is 1 1/2" in diameter. The nickel plating on this all original muffler is in mint condition. This show quality muffler will make a nice addition to a Slingerland Radio King or Artist model snare drum from the early part of the 20th century.
