I am pleased to offer this early drum that is 12 inches in diameter and 6 inches deep.  It is well used and has many nicks, small holes and stains on it, a pencil scribble, plus on one side the paper has a 2+ inch tear along the edge. There are a couple of places where someone did touch-ups with a blue marker. I really don’t know much about this piece except that I purchased it from a reputable antiques dealer about 10 years ago. I think the deep color is wonderful, and the drum displays well with other musical instruments grouped together. The rope is original and has several pieces of old leather attached.  I'll include the one wooden stick measuring 7 inches that was given to me when I bought the drum.  Please e-mail if you have any questions.  This piece is in far from perfect condition, yet it has a lot of primitive charm.  High bidder pays $12 shipping with insurance in the U.S. (only), but I will be happy to combine shipping if you win more than one of my auctions...just request a new total.

There’s no reserve, so enjoy.  FYI:  I am a former antiques dealer who is re-decorating, so please check out my other items for sale…thanks!
