Nice overall condition, wrap has mellowed to a great colour, chrome has sone pitting throughout, top hoop being the worst. Originally had a parallel mechanism, this is long gone and are completely unavailable. So it's been fitted with a new, vintage model, Gibraltar strainer and butt end. I've fitted a 50's Premier dampner as they use the factory, holes, top hoop is Premier too. Heads are both good vintage as they sit nicely on these older shell's, wires and brand new. Bearing edges are good, shell is birch.
