Vintage 1940s-50s WFL Ludwig Bass Drum 10-Lug Single Tension T-Rod Claw Set

Original vintage WFL / Ludwig single-tension bass drum hardware set, removed together from the same vintage WFL bass drum.

This is the original 10-lug single-tension system from the drum. Each lug position uses the long tension-rod arrangement with claws at both hoops and a center lug casing, as shown in the photos.

Included:

- 10 WFL streamlined center lug casings

- 10 long T-handle tension rods

- 10 long threaded tension rods

- 20 bass drum claws total — two slightly different styles/sizes corresponding to the two sides of the drum

- Original lug mounting screws and washers shown in the photos

The long rods measure approximately 14"-15"; please see the measurement photo for reference.

All of these pieces were removed from the same original WFL bass drum. The hardware was recently soaked and cleaned to remove surface rust and oxidation and cleaned up quite nicely overall.

CONDITION: Original vintage hardware showing age-related wear including scratches, oxidation, pitting and plating loss. Some of the smaller claws have areas of fine plating loss/flaking. I have intentionally stopped cleaning at this point rather than aggressively polish or alter the original finish. The hardware is being left as-is for the next owner to use or restore as desired.

Please examine all photos closely for exact condition, quantities and the differences between the two claw styles. This is a matched 10-lug single-tension hardware set removed from one drum, not an assortment of unrelated vintage parts.

The WFL badge from the original bass drum is NOT included and is being sold separately.

Excellent original WFL/Ludwig hardware for a period-correct bass drum restoration, marching bass drum project or replacement parts.

Everything shown in the hardware photos is included and is being sold together as one lot.
