I.d. Help Needed Please

Posts: 3165 Threads: 969

I've been doing a little inventory of some of my excess drum gear that I'm going to be selling and came across this particular cymbal.

Unfortunately, I've received contrasting opinions as to the date it was manufactured. I'm hoping that one of you experts out there might be able to help me out.

The cymbal is 17 inches and weighs approximately 3 pounds (1.36 kgs?).

It's the only 17 inch cymbal that I've got. I'm wondering if this size is somewhat unique?

THANKS in advance for your time and your help!

Looks like a 70's stamp

From the Zildjian site.

OldSchool's cymbal is from the late 1950's. The one pictured here from the Zildjian site is from the early 1970's.

OldSchool's cymbal is from the late 1950's. The pictured here from the Zildjian site is from the early 1970's.

This is exactly what's been the issue with this one, as stated in my original post -- one individual believes it's from the 70s, while another believes it's from the 50s.

Prior to listing it for sale, I'd like to be certain as to what I'm actually selling.Hmmmm

And 17" isn't unique, but it is less common that 16" or 18". All the odd sizes were less common. There were fewer of them made, but there doesn't appear to be any compelling reason for why they would be less demand that the even sizes. Personally I like the odd ones.
