Seeking traditional Rudimental sticks, pre-1980

A follow-up from my post of a couple weeks ago.

Here are most of my pre-1980 Rudimental sticks lined up to show the subtle differences in length, taper, tip size and shape and diameter.

Top to bottom (hickory unless noted): Tilco 2S maple, Duplex 3S, Gretsch 3S, Slingerland 3S, Ludwig 3S nylon, Leedy & Ludwig 3S, Ludwig Burns Moore 3S, WFL Burns Moore 3S.

The tips. Some interesting differences in size and shape, even among sticks all marked 3S.

If anyone’s interested, I have multiple sets of the nylon-tipped Ludwig 3S, NOS in original plastic sleeve. I’m open to trades or outright purchase. I’m looking for:

— Promark oak gold band in 1S, 2S and 3S

— CB700 in 3S

— Gretsch PermaSticks in 2B but open to other sizes

PM me if interested.
