Where to find out the value of a 1940 Ludwig Drum set, with tunable leather skins?

This was left behind by a relative that used them professionally, playing in jazz quartets and also playing in several very high end clubs throughout the 40s, 50s and 60s. He was primarily a "brush man".

    No investment counselor is going to be able to appraise a vintage drumset. In addition, you would not appraise the value of each part unless it is a complete mixture of different drum parts. If, indeed, it is the original Ludwig set AS IT WAS SOLD, then you have a completely different story and one of a much greater value than the sum of its parts.

    You may well be sitting on a goldmine as these old sets are hard to find. It is definitely a collector's dream.

    I hope the references at the site below will help you. You will definitely want to take photos (and lots of them) to submit to interested buyers.

    Generally speaking, to find the value of something, first you have to find the value of every single part. Especially with a drum set, the snare drum could be more valuable than the crash cymbals. I would ask a financial expert.
