Leedy  6.5x 14 Brass Shell Snare in good used condition.  Looks to be all original,  including rods, lugs, hoops etc., including factory white enamel finish.  Snare wires are not original.  White enamel flaking off the shell throughout as seen in pics.  I've been collecting drums for 30 yrs.  and have never came across a drum like this.  After my amateur research I've come to the conclusion it was a military drum from the late 30's--40's.  My opinion is it was originally a surplus dual parallel snare shell sold to the military from the shell hole configuration;   modified to a single strainer.  The top holes are in perfect placement for the dual strainer but utilized for a leg rest bracket and muffler.  Please look close---you tell me !!!   This is a one piece brass shell with factory folded under ( tucked ) bearing edges.  1 lug has the plating peeling off as shown---otherwise a used but not abused piece of Leedy drum history.   I have this drum set up for orchestral work ( coated diplomat; clear diplomat snare side; and 16 strand puresound snare wires).  This configuration WILL NOT BE INCLUDED WITH THE SNARE.   An Evans G1 coated,  Evans 300 snare side,  and 20 strand snare wires will be included in the set up.   It never came with the original extended factory snare wires---they're a pain anyway.  Please look at photos carefully and ask any questions before bidding---I'd be glad to answer.  Buyer to pay a flat $30 shipping and handling fee in Continental U.S. Only.
