Leedy Black Elite (Black Beauty)
A unique combination of the older floral engraved pattern and the newer four-screw lugs. Consider this Leedy a "transition" drum bridging the time when they were switching from the old pattern and lug design to the new. I can find it only on the cover Leedy “N” book (Rob Cook’s Leedy book, pge. 163).
I never saw around a drum like this. (Scott Colner - Olimpic Drums)
I would guess it is dated in the mid 1920's.
The snare been cleaned and restored from the master AK (Adrian Kirchler in Italy) 8 years ago.
The throw off, doesn't stay up easily. Should be an easy fix.
