1960s Ludwig Standard in Silver Astro - 14x20, 16x16,  8x12, 5x14sn

An early-run Ludwig Standard that's out of this world! 

14x22 - Really nice condition overall. White painted interior with a smudged date stamp 'Feb 13 19--.' We're assuming it is 1969, as the rack tom sports the same stamp. Wrap shows some scuffs and scratches, primarily from tom rash. Seam is lifted a bit and there is some scrunching above each lug at the seam. 16x original lugs are very clean, with some minimal pitting. T rods and claws are original and very clean. Disappearing straight spurs work great, with one being not original to the kit. Batter hoop shows a bit of paint loss and a flat spot at the pedal position, but resonant-side hoop is in great condition. Both have original inlay fully intact. Center tom mounting bracket is there and functional. Original tom arm is included. Original reso head!

16x16 - Word from the original owner is that this drum was ordered a year or two after the rest of the kit. Granitone interior. Wrap on this one has yellowed ever so slightly and shows consistent significant scratching all around. Seam is tight but has pulled about 1/16" exposing just a sliver of the adhesive. 16x original lugs are a little beat up but free of corrosion. Original legs and brackets have similar wear. Hoops look to be modern 2.3mm replacements and are in great shape. 

8x12 - White painted interior with a clearly legible 'Feb 13 1969' date stamp. Wrap shows a handful of decent scuffs and scratches but is in overall good shape. Seam shows some scrunching above each lug but is otherwise secure. 12x original lugs are clean with just the slightest bit of pitting. Original hoops are clean. Mounting bracket is fully intact. Internal muffler is present and in good working order. 

5x14 - What really takes this kit to the moon is the matching snare drum! White painted interior with no date stamp. Wrap is the cleanest of the bunch, with some smaller scuffs and scratches. There is also a little bit of seam pull/lift. 8x original lugs are clean, with some light scratches. Assuming this drum was also made in 1969, the P85 throw is more than likely a replacement. Original hoops have some scratches but are otherwise pretty clean. Internal dampener present and functional.
