US Shipping is $35 International Airmail is $135 Canada is $95, Australia $165 Condition Description: VG - All complete original and fully functional. No extra holes. Does have 2 partial screw holes on the inside (pictured) where a calf head heater lamp was installed at some point, but these do not penetrate the entire shell into the wrap. Hardware all has the original nobby gold finish. Someone attempted to clean the resonant rim with lemon oil and it cleaned up very nicely, but I am leaving any further restoration to the new owner. Wrap is original and in very good condition with no cracks or damages. Shell is solid with no cracks or damages and tight re-rings. Hardware is all functional and complete except the speedway strainer is a little sticky. It works fine off the drum but when under tension the lever doesn't want to move and the fine tension knob does not move easily. Could be further restored, but in somewhat usable shape as the rivet has not popped off which is the common break-point in these.
