There is a drum at the Sharpsburg museum that has a brass shell and box strainer but was made by Horstmann Bros., at least according to the label. Perhaps they were imports but not sold as such. And maybe the Klemm and Bro. drum had the strainer added later or it was copied from a strainer from a European drum. I would like to know when the American makers started putting strainers on their drums. Swiss and French drums had strainers much much earlier.<br /><br />Fortunately for those crazy bidders, the reserve was set too high on the blue drum."<br />Ellis Mirskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059186096779798410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702460502853399807.post-69456825703633510282009-12-22T13:44:19.354-05:002009-12-22T13:44:19.354-05:00Note: eBay reports that bidding ended at $565.99 w...Note: eBay reports that bidding ended at $565.99 without a sale because the reserve had not been met. All I can say is the seller was as extreme as the bidders. Perhaps he and the bidders know something the Blogmaster and at least one well-informed reader don't. But, I doubt it.Ellis Mirskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059186096779798410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702460502853399807.post-72545263412017900892009-12-22T13:42:26.377-05:002009-12-22T13:42:26.377-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ellis Mirskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059186096779798410noreply@blogger.com
