Zildjian Trans Stamp ID Help Please

Posts: 5 Threads: 1

Hello All,

I sure would appreciate some help identifyng the correct era of these two cymbals. I have done some searching and believe these to be both trans stamps but as stated by many in prior posts, there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding these types of old cymbals.

Not interested in buying or selling, I just want to learn more about the types of cymbals I grew up playing back in the late 60's.

The first stamp is from an 18-incher that weighs in at 1115g. It sounds very similar to the 18" type I transition stamp that is in the post "What I Got At The Show" by Drumaholic.

The second stamp is from a 19-incher that weighs in at 1745g. Makes a very nice Crash/ Ride

Thank you for your help.

Dean

Dean:

Those are both early 1950's. I'll bet they're real nice too.

"I don't think I have ever even heard of an 18" that thin.....!!!"

Then here's another one for you:

Sorry about that. Apparently I deleted it some time back. It's loaded back up again now.
