Been looking at some 1950's Slingerland orphan toms on the bay. Is it true the toms had no badges back then, at least for some years? Some of the drums shown sure look like Slingy's (lugs, re-rings etc.)....but with no badges??
 
that's correct . only snares and bass drums had badges .there weren't tom badges on Cloud badge Radio Kings either .
 
+1.Yep...no badges on toms,and no vent holes either,but they still sound great.

years ago I had an early 60's Pink Oyster Slingy kit , 12x20 / 8x12 / 14x14 , no badges no vents that absolutely killed !
...matching bongos too...
