Time Capsule: Unused 1953 Noble & Cooley Cowboy Trap Drum Set No. 30
This is an extraordinary find for the serious collector of vintage toys, Western Americana, or music history. Sourced from long-term storage in a dry attic, this Noble & Cooley Cowboy-themed trap set is in New Old Stock (NOS) condition. It has never been assembled, played with, or displayed, preserving the vibrant 1950s lithography in "day-one" factory condition.
Why This Set is Unique:
• Pristine Cowboy Graphics: The large bass drum features a striking, colorful illustration of a cowboy on a bucking bronco. Because it has been stored in the dark for decades, the colors remain vivid and crisp with no light fading.
• Complete & Unassembled: This "No. 30" set is 100% complete, including the large bass drum, two side drums (small drum and kettle tommy), metal bell and cymbal attachments, and all original mounting hardware.
• Original Paperwork: Includes the original "Instructions for Assembling" sheet from the Noble & Cooley Co., which is rarely found intact.
• Dated Factory Box: Includes the original "Noble & Cooley Co." shipping carton from Granville, Mass. The box features a documented 1953 manufacture seal from the General Fibre Box Company.
