The new Fibes company in Austin was making Jasper shelled kits in the 90s. As for the comments so far here....I'd agree that you can sell these for probably in the range of $2500 or so if you get lucky and get the right buyer. If you could only get $1500, then why sell? Unless you just absolutely need the money....you can just put $300-400 up and usually find a nice Rogers kit. Maybe not a mid 60s, but definitely an early 70s swivo kit with the same shells as the earlier kits and in better sizes. There's a great set in black right now at musicgoround.com. From the pic, it appears to be 22 or 24" kick, 13" rack tom and 16" & 18" fl tom. $399. If I didn't have the exact kit in white, I'd grab it.
Ludwig or Slingerland kits from the 60s pop up all the time for cheap as well.
I've never been a fan of Gretsch snares...love their kicks....toms are hit or miss. Their hardware was a joke in the 70s. Much worse than anyone elses.
Agree with RB as you can find some great old Premier or Sonor kits for cheap too.
