POST CIVIL WAR MILITARY ROPE DRUM BY THOMPSON & ODELL This being one of my favorites, is a snare drum with dimensions being 16 1/2" in diameter X 10 1/2" tall. It was made by J.B. Treat for Thompson and Odell of Boston. The label is still affixed to the inner shell and is crisp and clear. The address on the label lists the company at 177 Washington. According to the "Directory Of American Military Goods & Makers 1755-1915" they were at that address from 1880-86. However, on our label, the 177 has a pencil mark through it and 523 is written underneath. They were at 523 from 1890-1900. Apparently they were using up their remaining stock of labels, thus probably putting this drum at 1889-90. A military drum with the same label, made by Treat, was listed in one of Flaydermans catalogs back in the 1960s. Thompson and Odell drums are quite desirable, however the ones made by J.B. Treat are RARE, military drums by Treat, VERY RARE. T is a Thompson and Odell, Treat drum on display at the National Music Museum in South Dakota, it is part of the Ludwig Collection. It however is a later model with a 1905 date.
