The drum is 12-1/2" high with a 16-5/8" diameter, doubtless being slightly shortened during the period of use, which is not uncommon with the diminutive size of many drummers. Both heads intact, retaining the original rope and the original tighteners, interior with a William Kilbourn Albany New York label. The face painted with the coat of arms of New York and "Regt Co. N.G.S.N.Y", original red painted hoops. CONDITION: The drum is in as found, untouched condition. Retaining about 90% paint to the coat of arms and about 85% original finish to the drums body. Included are two maple drum sticks in very good condition. From the Ray Bentley collection.
Condition: Very Good
