There are SO many wonderful Elkhart 8D's out there with worn out flares - and no place to get an authentic Elkhart bell and tail - until NOW! This is an Elkhart bell and tell. While it does have some dings in it (to be expected from a bell that is about 50 years old!!) and a repaired crack in the bell wire (very common on these older ones) it doesn't have any patches or overly thin areas.
Give that old 8d of yours a new lease on life!
