Is this a Supraphonic?

Is this a supraphonic snare? Looks like it to me, but it doesn't have the blue olive badges.

Any opinions would make me feel better!

Thank you

It sure is.....remember, badges tell you WHEN they were made. Monroe badge...probably 90's. Great snare....BID AWAY,...that'll go for A LOT More than 152! :)

I certainly will.

Thank you.

I will look at it and try to get it for not too much over the 154. If I can't, then I will wait.

Thanks again.

Not all of them have the blue/olive badges, just those in the badge time frame whatever that was. That look to be one to me but I'm not an expert...

Blue Olive bagdes started in the 70's ...I believe you "could" have a drum from 1969 with a B/O badge also....but let's just say the 70's. These b/o badges from the 70's had sharp/sharper corners, from the 80's they started rounding the corners [someone correct me if I"m wrong]....but anyhow,.........then they went back to the keystone right before they moved to Monroe, NC [again, this may not be 100% accurate].

It's a Supraphonic, no doubt, it'll sound great,....and more than likey,....unfortunately,....it'll go for WAY more than 152 ;)

This may help to establish a timeframe
