Lot 165
Royal Air Force Parade Drum. Probably manufactured between 1944-1945, this interesting piece measures 14" in diameter and stands 14" high. It is decorated with the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom: "Dieu et Mon Droit"(God and My Right), and above: "H[oni] Soit Qui Mal Y Pense."
The skins are intact and the overall condition is good, with six scattered turquise stains scattered across one third of its side--however, they do not detract much from the overall appearance of the drum itself. The original rope is intact and in good shape.
Estimated Value $500 - 1,000.
