Avedis Zildjian hi hat: age, value?

Posts: 3 Threads: 1

Hi,

I'm new here, and English is not my native language so pls. excuse my noob-question.

I inherited one half of a 14" A. Zildjian hi hat. It has no inked stamp; only a pressed logo/text, see pic.

Could someone tell me if it has any value, and how old it approx. is?

Thanks!

Looks to be a 1970's era Zildjian Thin Stamp. Value depends on weight, so ball park $50.00-$100.00

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....

Hi backbeatkeeper,

Thanks for the reply.

Weight is 1170 grams = 41.2 oz. (one cymbal). Is your price-estimate per cymbal, or per set of two?

Thanks again!

I believe that would be $50 - $100 for one cymbal. That's what I'd say based on recent eBay activity. I've got an early 1960s bottom which weighs 1120g and it cost $85 which is nicely in the middle of the range.

From the pic / its a 60s...

from the weight listed n grams its medium in weight..

I forgot to read if its a 13" or 14" or 15"..?

In Canada they would go for $60/75 as a single & $125/150 as a set..

More if they were lighter & 15" in size..

Oops, you're right, the 3 dots. Must be a polished cymbal for a stamp that thin. Price is for a single cymbal.

For the record: I just sold the cymbal for 50 Euros (approx. 70 USD) via the local Craigslist. The money goes to my (drumming) son who can now buy a solid and stable boomstand to put his 18" crash cymbal on Cool1

Thanks for all replies!
