Vintage 1939 Slingerland Drums and Accessories Catalog Very Rare Collectable!

Description

Vintage 1939 'Slingerland Drums and Accessories' Catalog.
Very rare and collectable...  a "must have" for vintage drum enthusiasts and Gene Krupa fans.  There is no copyright date but I have from reliable sources is the 1939 edition. The 1938 Gene Krupa Drum Method (listed presently in another auction) is shown in several places in the catalog. This catalog edition focuses more on drum sets and trap accessories making it unique to other catalogs of this era.
The Catalog is 44 pages (including the back cover )   The pages are in very nice condition. The front cover has some tears and creasing along the spine and slight wear. both covers show some wear around the edges and corners.  . The catalog measures approx. 8 1/2" L x 5 1/2" W and is a very neat 'Slingerland Drum Co.' or 'Drumming' collectible that is 82 years old (see pictures). The catalog came from Pink's Music Store, Mobile Alabama. The entire store was a bit of a time capsule when I discovered it as a teen back in the early 70s. The book has been in my possession since then. I have enjoyed perusing the pictures on countless occasions as it is a virtual treasure drove of drum equipment history. Questions are encouraged and Input is always welcome!
