Re: and in 1922...
Slunk head. This came from a New York estate. I believe this is pre Farmingdale and the oldest Rogers item I have ever seen. The diameter of these heads are very big, one in the group is 35". I know of Jos H, and sons Clev and Jos B. Att Gary now on eBay.

Re: and in 1922...
RogersO, Thanks for the look out. The following is from the 1938 catalog:
The Rogers Book p7 shows a picture of the "Jos B Rogers Jr" stamp and calls that the Farmingdale NJ tannery stamp. The Highview NY tannery stamp reads just "Jos Rogers Jr." Cool stuff. Those pages are deep into the 1938 catalog after the 38 Deagan line.
Joseph H Rogers was the father.
His son Joseph H Rogers Jr left the business to his two sons: Joseph B Rogers and Cleveland S Rogers.
All very confusing because in 1929 Joseph H Rogers Jr. passed away and Joseph B operated the Highview NY tannery and Cleveland operated the Farmingdale NJ tannery...soon to be a NJ Drum Co. too.
Peace, Gary

Re: and in 1922...
No problem. I am still learning this era myself.

Re: and in 1922...
Neat seeing a price list. That was a fair sum of $$$ back then!

Re: and in 1922...
Gary, as always, you are the ultimate Rogers historian. I read every word of your posts.
And, after absorbing Cleveland's "Story of the Drum," it appears that many of the drums in your collection are still under warranty!
Do you have his heirs' email address(es)?

Re: and in 1922...
Tom, Thanks! I sure do like this olde Rogers stuff a lot. It's all Clevelands fault that I spend too many hours looking on Ebay for these old tanks. It was offered and someone must of had a sparkling green pearl with Klondyke gold hardware Rogers snare made. It's just gotta be out there in an attic some where.
Leave it to the Cleve...a great man with high standards that started building Rogers drums back in the day!
Peace, Gary
