I have these cymbals that turned out to be 14" Zildjian Hats after I cleaned them and saw the stamp. The guy I got them from threw them in as part of a purchase of other stuff. He gave me a box of cymbals and referred to them as no name brand that I could have. They were pretty dirty so I can see his thinking that. I thought the same thing. I think they are from the '60s, but I would like confirmation since I'm not an expert. They have a separate engraving "Centennial High School Traps" and "Centennial High School Traps Set". The 14" hats weigh 776g/865g and the 15" cymbal is 1297g. Seems kinda heavy for a crash. Given the Centenial High school engraving it could be 1 half of some concert cymbals. just a guess on my part. Also, the stamp is very faint, I rubbed some ash on it to try to get a better picture. Thats the last pic. I'd also like to know what value, ball park they might have. thanks, James
Zildjian hats and orphan 15" single
[COLOR="DarkRed"]'Hats are late 60's - good weights !!! Worth about $120 or so (maybe one can argue $100 due to the scratched school names). The 15's hella heavy - cannot really see stamp but looks maybe '90's and not worth much (maybe $40-50 or so)[/COLOR]

Thanks for the reply. my modern Zildjian A,s weigh close to that 15, but are 14" so maybe it is a 15" hat bottom. The stamp is so faint, I can only see a partial with the naked eye. I need some kind of CSI type deal to bring out the stamp. It looks so easy on TV. LoLoLoLo
