Any vintage drum guys on DC?

I'm a sucker for vintage drums of all makes and models. I have a few old ones and would like to get more when the money and the space are there.
So let's see what you got, and don't skimp on the pics and details....

1971 Ludwig "Duo Rock" outfit in Oyster Black Pearl. American made 3-ply maple shells w/reinforcement rings and laquered interiors. Sizes are 12x8", 13x9", 16x16", 20x18"(floor tom), (2) 20x14" bass drums(1 not shown in picture), and a 14x6 Supraphonic snare. This set was given to Jason by his father George who was the original owner. The set was ordered in late 1970 but was not made and received until early 1971. George was told it was due to the custom 20" floor tom.

Late 1960's Mica-Sonic Deluxe in Blue Aqua Satin. Japanese Luan wood in 12x8", 14x14", 20x16", and a 14x6" snare. The bass drum mounted cymbal stand has been replaced with a DW model. The snare drum has had a snare valley bed cut in and is outfitted with Yamaha Vintage wood hoops along with Puresound strainer. The kick drum hoops have been changed out from metal to maple wood. This kit is a great example of the Pre-Yamaha(Pearl, or Tama) japanese drum sets that were available for beginners and semi-pro's. The shells are 9-ply Luan mahogany very comparable to the Grestch Catalina Club shells(but much heavier). They do not have reinforcement rings. The bearing edges are rounded on these. The wood grain of all plys run from bearing edge to bearing edge as opposed to around the drum horizontally which makes them quiet drums. They have a very warm sound perfect for small jazz gigs. I have plans to replace/repair the rail-mount consolette.
