Rogers Powertone snare ?

[john burdine]

i just picked up a Rogers Powertone snare on a Craigslist deal. its a 14"x5" 8 lug. i was told its chrome over brass? the badge looks like the 1961-68/69 style. the condition is very good. chrome is very nice. all hardware looks original (throw,butt, muffle,ect...) also has a Rogers sticker on the inside No. 28529. paper tag on inside reads Fullerton Calif.
is this a c.o.b.? does this drum have any value? i paid $120

thanks John Burdine

Yes,they are chrome over brass.Great sounding drums! My roommate has one. I think a Fullerton tag will make it post '67 but I am not sure. I will let an expert handle that.

I don't know what they are going for but I am positive that is a VERY good deal.

You just bought a Rogers late 60's/ 70's COB snare.
Pics would be nice.
They don't have a super high value but they are real nice drums.
How does it sound?
What condition is it in?
The prof is in the pudding as they say.
Enjoy.

Yes, it's C.O.B. You paid roughly half of what they usually sell for. Good deal on a good drum. You'll be very happy with it!

....chrome over brass.... thanks John Burdine

This was made when "Chrome was Chrome" (some of the chrome I see today is very poorly plated)

Rogers did it right on those snares.
