ironlord1963 ,
When you said that, I looked at them again and there is a definate "pattern" to the paint that's missing...it's so obvious now, they are drums !
I'll post another pic soon that confirms your identification.
Now I'm getting exited about them, coolest drums ever ?
I looked at the label again,and I think when I read "made in" I assumed Japan,the label is torn and worn to no ink. I'm thinking now it is Hawaiian maybe(the pine cones are Pineapples ?), wow.
Thanks a Bunch !!!
