We got a new - but very old - snare drum! This thing is 80 years old right now, a 1938 Slingerland Radio King Snare drum.

UPDATE - from research, it seems this may actually be a 1948 Concert King (still part of the Radio King family). That would explain some inconsistencies when looking into the finer details. That's still a 70 year old snare!
