The chrome plated hardware, which was an upgrade for the era, is all in great condition. As described by the Slingerland catalog from the era,the drum has a 3 ply laminated wood shell, flanged counter hoops, eight self-aligning lugs and rods, rapid strainer and mirror like lacquered duco finish. This is a nice example of a Hollywood Ace from this era and will make a great addition to an early 1960's vintage Slingerland outfit.
