That's an older Slingerland marching drum, 50's era

Simple marching drums have very little collector value. That one looks rough. You might get $50-100 for it.

Value in a moment- If you are a tinkerer: What I did with mine is turned it into a tom to hang on a cymbal stand for my mahogany travel kit (20x12 bd, 12x8 tom, 14 snr). I drilled for 2 hole center lugs like a Stage Band', & filled the single hole. An option would be to get from DFD single hole lugs with long tubes and rods. I had to sand down the bottom b-edge to get rid of snare beds. An amazing sounding kit for mellow gigs. If dismantled and sanded it could fetch up to a $100. Rims in round shape and sanded can be worth selling for another $100. The key to sounding good is separate

tension top/btm adjustment.

I wish the pic of the badge was clearer so I can better guess the age it was made from what I can see I would guess 1950’s through the 1960’s A measurement would also help in determining the value It looks like It can be restored without too much difficulty I am a fan of bringing drums Back to how the factory made them Also please add some pix of inside the shell & please let us know what wires are on it are they Gut & wire or just wire snares

Lastly Does the shell have a. Ink date stamp inside the shell? Good luck enjoy it Play DRUMS BE HAPPY
