Vintage Japanese ‘Mitchel’ Drum Kit Shell Pack

A classic 1960s example of a pre Tama Japanese stencil kit. There were released under various stencil names, predominantly owned by Star (later to become Tama)

Philippine mahogany shells

Brushed steel wrap in good condition overall for the age. There are some clear patches mostly on the bass and floor tom. These look like scratches in the wrap, but are actually marks under the wrap itself and cannot be felt, nor have damaged the wrap
