WORKING CONDITION: Very Good. These drums tune up well and sound fantastic. All of the lug casings are in great condition.  Definitely a shell pack for the collector or recording drummer.

PHYSICAL CONDITION:
 Very Good. There is mild pitting on some of the metal parts, but for being almost 60 years old, they are in very good condition. One of the lug nuts on the tom holder attachment is missing, but all three floor tom legs work and hold well. Note that the floor tom, kick and the larger rack tom appear to be sun-faded on one side, the floor tom more so than the others.
