Ludwig Chicago Vintage Cowbell – For Parts / Restoration – Poor Condition

This vintage Ludwig Chicago cowbell is being sold as-is for parts, repair, or restoration. The bell retains its original stamped "Ludwig Chicago" script logo and appears to be an older USA-made Ludwig percussion accessory, likely dating from the mid-20th century era. Similar Ludwig Chicago-stamped cowbells are commonly associated with 1960s-era drum set accessories and percussion setups.

Condition: Poor

Please review all photos carefully. This cowbell has significant cosmetic and structural issues, including:

• Large split/open seam at the lower body of the bell
• Separation of the metal along the bottom edge
• Visible crack extending through the shell
• Previous repair attempt or solder residue visible near the split area
• Heavy scratches, scuffs, and surface wear throughout
• Oxidation, tarnish, and finish loss
• Dings and general age-related wear
• Ludwig Chicago logo remains visible but shows wear

Because of the split body and seam separation, this item should be considered a project piece. It may still produce sound, but no claims are being made regarding tone, tuning, or performance suitability.

Features:

• Original Ludwig Chicago script logo
• Vintage USA-made drum/percussion accessory
• Metal construction
• Hanging style cowbell design

Included:

• Ludwig Chicago cowbell only

Sold As-Is
Due to the condition issues described above, this cowbell is being sold strictly as a restoration candidate, display piece, parts donor, or collection filler.

Please examine all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the description.

No Returns.
