I have a Rogers PowerTone Snare with serial # 22167. It also has a white pad on the muffler and paper tag with a Fullerton, CA. build address. I figure it's early '70s any other info you could provide would be great.
Thank you
The Drum Experts Say....
This particular Powertone, with that Fullerton tag/serial of #22167, sits right on the cusp of the Dayton to Fullerton switchover... so ... I would say that this drum is a 1970. Being that it is a Dayton/Fullerton, it may still have the NICE heavier Beavertail lugs, prior to the lighter later Fullerton manufacture.
One way to tell is to see if the lugs are the spring/felt threaded insert type as opposed to the "C" ring/clip threaded insert... ( viewable right where the tension rod screws into the insert ) ... otherwise, most COB Powertone snare drums are pretty much the same
