A military rope-tensioned bass drum by George Potter of Aldershot, emblazoned with a beautifully hand-painted crest of 1st Kent (West) Royal Engineers. The coat of arms and crown of King George VI dates the paintwork to 1936-52.
Both skins are damaged as per the photographs, making this an interesting restoration project! The paintwork is chipped and worn in places, with extensive crazing/cracking. One harness mounting loop is missing. Drum only; no harness or beaters, and one of the metal feet is missing. A manufacturer's label is still inside the drum.
A wonderful find for the fan of military music or regimental history.
Overall casing diameter is 75cm, width 39cm. The drum weighs 7kg, so collection from us is preferred.
