Sure seems to be an awful lot of "listing errors" with these old K auction nowadays

Well I guess that maybe its just something that's going around lately. Kind of like the winter flu.

But old drummers are eventually going to pass away and their cymbals be offered up for sale by their widows. Or sometimes old drummers still living will just get too old to continue playing , and then just decide to sell their stuff. And that's how some has come to me. There will always be something in the pipeline. You just need to be there on the other end when it comes out.

:thinking:if it isn't K than 50's mini cup ride? looks confusing..

I don't think they made the mini-cup until the at least '60's.

Definitely not a K though.

Maybe an Istanbul Agop and they got that pesky bell size wrong (again). :whistling

It is This Auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/Gretsch-round-badge-drum-set-maple-with-cymbals-offer_W0QQitemZ290206287767QQihZ019QQcategoryZ6443 9QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) and he has answered a question about it saying that


the small bell is a constantanople 20" zildjian great ride and very expensive new

which makes one think it is a current (or newly out of production? -- I don't keep up) K con small bell. Is this not consistent with what the experts see in the photo? I wouldn't know. I don't own any of those Zildjians or Sabians or whatever branch of the family they come from...

No. Looks more like a 24" Dream Contact proto-type to me.
