Early K. Con USA Made

Posts: 520 Threads: 167

Came across a GREAT sounding 20" K. Con made in USA cymbal. Looks to be old, but there are no ink stamps anywhere, just engraved stamp.

Can anyone tell me the approx. age on this cymbal? Value would be good too, but this is one time frame of Zildjian I am not too familiar with!

Thanks for looking!

Kevin

Are they worth much?

They don't seem to command any more than regular Zildjian A's of the period.

Hi, that's a nice looking cymbal. Is it thin and flexible? It might be a little earlier in the run of that line.

Yeah, it is pretty flexible, and crashes very well!
