New Condition / Old Stock original artist endorsed "Slingerland USA 19N BARRETT DEEMS" drum sticks in their original Slingerland identified plastic sealed bag. The bag reads: Slingerland "The Formost In Drums" Genuine Hickory Drum Sticks. Niles, Illinois U.S.A. "The Formost In Drums" was the slogan used by the Slingerland Drum Co. from 1963 to 1965. The size of the sticks are approx. 15 1/2 inches long and 9/16 inches wide. By eyeballing the sticks in their original sealed bag they appear to be pretty straight. These sticks are as perfect as they are going to be being a Hickory wood and 40 plus years of age in storage. They are in unused near mint plus (9.5) condition. Barrett was an amazing drummer and was most honorably titled "The Worlds Fastest Drummer".
