Project Description

Every now and again a real gem arrives and this time it’s simply a 12×8 70s Olympic Tom. Most of these are completely abused with scratches and cracks to the wrap but this one must have been wrapped in sticky vinyl from an early age which has beautifully preserved the Grey Silk Pearl wrap.
