50s 15" A. Zildjian confirmation.

Is this a 50s A.?

Supposedly it's really thin and trashy... Would make a nice brother to my CIE reissue Thin 16" crash.

I'm still searching the forums and the net... I'm new to this and the forums.

Thanks ahead of time.

Cheers,

David

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Yes...it might even be a trans-stamp, late 40's. Very nice cymbals. Very nice. Lotsa hand-work on those.[/COLOR]

Would $100 be a fair price for a 15-incher?

Aslo, I have a 20" ride with a similar stamp... I'll post it later this weekend. The thing is AWESOME!

Trans stamp for sure. Probably the most collectable period for A's.

I pulled the trigger and bought it.

$113 shipped.

48 hour "trial" period.

should match my 20" nicely.

Now I just need to replace my broken 16" Cie reissue...

Sounds like you're becoming a trans stamp addict.

There's no cure for that you know.

Got it... sounds ok... Not amazing... a little trashy for a crash... sound sorta like a big splash.

Nice and thin, a bit of wobble... low overtones.

I also think it either IS or was used AS a hi-hat top as it has the tell-tale polishing of the bottom outer edge by the other cymbal. But It has no abuse or problems...

Would be good as a second crash... but not as a primary.

not sure what to do.

1/2 of a pair of hats. Now go and find its soul-mate.

I don't need or want a set of 15" hi-hats.

Also... the bell is pretty small on this... is that a tell-tale sign of a hat?
