![]() ![]() There are virtually no marks on the shells other than a couple of small nicks on the 13 on the player side from the snare rim. The set we have here is the early version with paint on the shells, which makes the superb condition of this set even more remarkable. Their solution was to use a clear wrap with the color on the underside of the wrap. ![]() As time progressed between 1954-1958, Gretsch then switched away from the paint because it would chip badly. Also, it should be noted that these three finishes started out as paint (whereas all other Gretsch finishes offered at the time were plastic wrap). These three new finishes were only in the color line for a very short time, so all are extremely rare. Prior to adding these finishes Gretsch had the traditional wraps of the day, such as red, green, blue, silver, and gold sparkle, and white marine pearl, midnight blue pearl and black diamond pearl. Some background: In the 50s between 1954-circa 1958, Gretsch added three new finishes: Cadillac Nitron Green (only offered with gold hardware), Copper Mist, and Cameo Coral, which is a salmon-like color. ![]() But, this is 100% original and the "real deal". I have seen a few "fakes" in my day, which shall we say were poor attempts to "cash in". The rarest Gretsch finish ever! Cameo Coral! Prior to this set surfacing we have never seen or heard of an original Cameo Coral Gretsch drum, much less a complete kit. !NEW!
