These appear to be a very nice set of Slingerland Radio King drums from the 1950's, so somewhere around 70 years old, in very nice shape.
The green sparkle (re)covering is immaculate other than a tom rub on top of the bass drum.
Original hardware throughout, including the Radio King T-Rods on the BD.
A little seam lift on the FT.
I intend to fix that as soon as time permits.
Three-ply African mahogany shells.
IMHO, the best tom shells ever made.

although, some may argue that Slingerland's 3-ply maple shells of the '70s are superior.
Different strokes, for different folks, and so on, and so on, and shoobee-doobee-doobee.
