Frederick Lane Drum, pre-Civil War (ca. 1821-1837)

This gem surfaced recently.  I guess the date of the drum to be from 1813 (the date of another Frederick Lane drum discussed below) or 1821-1837 based on this mention of the Frederick Lane music store in Boston, Massachusetts
(https://archive.org/stream/onehundredfiftyy00fish/onehundredfiftyy00fish_djvu.txt)/

"One hundred and fifty years of music publishing in the United States; an historical sketch with special reference to the pioneer publisher, Oliver Ditson company, inc., 1783-1933" 

"To combine the selling of music with books was natural, but the curious combination of music and umbrellas seems peculiar to Boston in the period 1825- 1845. John Ashton, Jr., and John Ashton & Co. (E. H. Wade) umbrella-makers, from 1 820-1 843 at 18 Marlboro Street and 197 Washington Street, may have set the fashion of adding music and musical in- struments to their stock in trade, a step they took in 1825. They were followed by Frederick Lane, the umbrella-man of Court Street, 1821-1837; Henry Prentiss who, having been an umbrella-maker from 1825 to 1833 on Court Street, added pianos and music in 1834 and published music as well until 1845; and Charles H. Keith, another Court Street umbrella- maker from 1833, who added music and instruments to his stock in 1835, in 1840 took in a partner for two years as Keith & Moore, and as music-dealer and publisher under his own name continued until 1 846, when the catalog was purchased by Oliver Ditson & Co. A shorter-lived umbrella and music-store was that of a former partner of John Ashton, Eben H. Wade, who, at 197 Washington Street, did some publishing between 1847 and 1856."

"Frederick Lane's Music Store was at 92 Court St. (opposite of the Old Court House) from 1820-44. He had bought out N. H. Henchman's Music Shop at 79 State St. in April 1813. He manufactured bass drums for the militia, wind instruments and violins. By the 1830, he also made umbrellas at his shop on Court St.
