Vintage Leedy 10" x 14" marching, parade, separate tension snare drum with 16 lugs, (small Leedy w/backing plates), bright nickel hardware, wood hoops, claws w/tension rods, coiled snare wires, tuning key & shell-mount holder,  with original linnen/canvas carry bag stamped "Leedy" under cover. 

The batter head is a vintage woven kevlar "Duraline Concert", and the snare side is an Evans 300.

The inside of the shell is ink-stamped with "5002" which I presume indicates February of 1950.  
It is also stamped "Drum No. L-47973" a shown.

The badge reads: "Leedy Elkhart Indiana U.S.A." consistent with the 1949-1950 time period. 

The shell construction appears to be 3-ply, with 2-ply reinforcement rings.

It's in great shape overall considering its unrestored 75-year age, likely due to being stored in its original carrying bag for most of those years.
