In my research I have found only seven badges for Camco drums. The Camco company started in Oaklawn Illinois as a machine shop. Featured in 50's Rogers catalogs selling hardware. Camco began drum production in 1961 when president John Rochon took over George Way Drum Company in a stock buy out. The company was sold and moved to Kansas by the Kustom Company. A later sale moved it to Los Angeles and eventually turned into DW Drums.
