I worked at the factory 1970 to 83. Sadly after your drum was made. Def brass I could tell by the underside. The chrome plating was done at our own plating plant at Canal Street South Wigston Leicestershire.
Vala vala.

Chromage
Après avoir clamé que Premier et Rolls Royce partageaient le même chromeur, je relève ce commentaire dans une vidéo de Rick Dior sur une Royal Ace COB:

Re: Chromage
Voici un lien vers un article de 1978 décrivant l'usine Premier de Wigston : https://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/prem ... cture/8680
et le passage sur le chromage :
"Premier make all their own fittings for their drums and have a new electroplating plant designed by employees. It is here that a rough looking piece of metal eventually ends up as a double tom tom holder or whatever. Each part has its own separate mould; when the part is stamped out from its mould it is trimmed of any rough edges and sent to the plating department which consists of a series of baths or dips. The parts are strung on to copper wire and sent through the various baths, the whole process taking about 10-20 minutes with the baths consisting of chemicals such as alkaline cleaner, various acids, cyanide, sodium hypochlorite, nickel, chrome, and sodium metabisulphite. When this is completed the parts are dried, checked and polished ready for assembly."

Re: Chromage
J’ai lu chômage aussi au début lol
SONOR ne faisait pas appel à ROLLS ROYCES mais ils produisaient du SONORCHROME à l’époque avec un mélange de cuivre et de nickel.
Ayant restauré beaucoup d’anciennes caisses claires SONOR et d’autres marques en comparaison j’avais bien remarqué la différence de qualité qui même après 40 ou 50 ans sont dans un état incroyablement bon comparé à des plus récents d’autres marques !
SONOR the best
