1928 Ludwig Drum Catalog Copyright 2001-2003 Clay Taylor Greene www.ludwigdrummer.com All Rights Reserved See thee link for more information. The woodblock is not cracked or broken. Used on traps drum sets for effects percussion. Some minor scratches as shown from use. I cannot find a brand marking on this one. But it's an exact match to the catalog and others I have seen in the past. The block is 11" in total length and 2" in diameter at the widest ends. Please ask questions as needed and thanks for buying.
