Vintage bass drum pedal

This is a vintage bass drum pedal gifted to me recently by a local business man who learned that I was restoring an old Ludwig bass drum.

I think that the footpad reveals that it is a Ludwig interpretation of a Fraser, patented bass drum pedal from around 1920.

The pedal is much worn and corroded but by no means beyond restoration.

I will begin by removing the badly corroded components, clean up the brass, replace the spring and link yolk. The badly worn pivots and fulcrums I will fill with braze and re drill. After a refit of all new components, screws, etc, I will have the unit nickel plated.
