Up for sale is my beloved vintage 1970s 5x14 black beauty snare. SN#1565577. Not a transitional-era late 70s/early 80s serial number (so there is no mistaking this beauty for bronze--it is BRASS without question) and a relatively early serial at that vis-a-vis used vintage black beauty snare drums.The pics speaks for themselves. It is in superb condition for a drum of its age. All original save the heads and snare wires. No cracks, or dents or extra holes. As expected there are a few minor scuffs and scratches here and there-nothing remotely major. More importantly however, the nickel plating in and of itself has no signs of tarnish and/or peeling.Vintage 70s black beauties are few and far between much less one such as this in great condition and with a relatively early serial number. If you ever wanted to own one, this is the one to get. You will not regret it.If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
