William Kilbourn Drum - Label Question

Sam Cathey, a reader of this blog, writes with the following question: "I have an original Kilbourn drum with this label inside.  Generally I see a different Kilbourn label that includes a Clinton Avenue address.  Does anyone know the dates connected with the labels?"

Partial Answer: He was located at 147 Clinton Avenue, Albany, NY from 1858-1863. (Directory of American Military Goods Dealers & Makers 1785-1915).  See http://www.oshkoshmuseum.org/Virtual/exhibit3/e30232a.htm.

The Albany City Directory for the year 1877, p. 275, lists William Kilbourn, drum manufacturer at 915 Broadway.

William Kilbourn is listed as age 37, a farmer and drum manufacturer in Albany. Gazetteer and Business Directory of Albany and Schenectady Co., N.Y., for 1870-71, p. 296.  (No address given.)  That would put his date of birth at ca. 1833.

Here are some veteran drum corps women, known as "Chicks with Sticks" gathered for a rehearsal that lead to a reunion performance.

The video was taken while the ladies were getting ready to compete at the 2011 DCA Individuals & Ensembles competition in Rochester, NY.  These four pioneers were among the first women to march snare in a top 12 DCI corps.
