Lyon & Healy Marching Snare Drum

This from one of our readers, Vince O'Connor (note the key attached by a ring to one of the rods):

I signed up through Google, but can't for the life of me figure out how to post anything on the google "field drums" blog website.

How do I join in?

I am interested in more info about my 1890s marching snare.

I am moving and need to sell it, but have no idea what to put it on Ebay for, or how best to sell it. Most my auctions are $ .99 with no reserve, but I'm sure this is worth something.

Any help or info greatly appreciated

PS I am a lifelong performing and recording musician, main intrument is keyboards.

here's a link to one of my 3 "music" related photo albums online:
