Noble & Cooley Company : Granville, Massachusetts
A 1920 trade catalogue from Noble & Cooley Company of Granville, Massachusetts, a maker of drums, banjos and tambourines, issued for toy and musical instrument buyers. The pictures show plain-cased snare drums with rope tensioning, metal hoops, and heart-shaped lugs, presented as clean product photographs and engravings. A designer could take their simple cylindrical shells, bold rim bands, and rope-and-lug hardware as a restrained vintage form for packaging or badge work.
