Hey Cymbal Experts - Vintage Cymbal Quiz, (various ID/Value Questions)

Loading...

Okay you guys, I can really use your help. I'm relatively clueless when it comes to vintage cymbals, (or any cymbals for that matter - but at least I can spell it). Getting some restored/refurbished kits ready to sell, and I've collected some cymbals in my adventures that I'd like to include in some packages. My concern is that I include something in a cheap package that might actually have some collectibility value. Would greatly appreciate some insight from those of you who are more knowledgeable on the subject than I. Got a pretty good selection here, that I will try to post photos for ID.

First up; a 16" Sabian 'B8 Plus' Crash cymbal, (also have matching 14" hats with same logo). Sounds pretty good, in good shape - got from bulk school aquisition, (serial number etched). Age? Value, (hats also)? Thanks guys!

Okay, next up is a mystery cymbal. Tried to show pic of logo, it says 'Red-Sound' with some other figures I can't make out. 14", (not sure if it's hi-hat cymbal or what) sounds pretty trashy. Any insight from you guys? Thanks

Okay, next on the list are some 14" school cymbals, (I believe they were hand held, slam together jobs - had grommets that I removed). Have four of these, and they seem to make decent hi-hat cymbals, (for starter kit anyway). Rajah brand, Made in England - Any real value? Thanks

Another English cymbal - 18" Lyn. Not great sounding - not sure if it's a crash or a ride... or a frizbie. Anyone recognize this? Any value? Thanks

Okay, lets get on to something nicer. Was pleased to get this one. Part of my school acquisition - serial number etched in it, but still. Not sure how to date, and value Zildjians, but this one is a 21", hollow logo ride cymbal. Okay you Zildjian dudes, what do I have here? Thanks.

Got a few more, but I'm getting hungry. Will post after some lunch... and see if I get any responses in the meantime.

That's a "Zyn", not a "Lyn".

As for the 21" hollow logo Zildjian ride, you have a 21" hollow logo Zildjian ride. Not much more to identify about it...

Okay, I'll squeeze one more in while my sgeddies are cooking. Here's one called 'Dixie'. It's an 18"... something from Switzerland??? Another trashy one, but who knows? Anyone? Thanks

@caddywumpus - Thanks for input, didn't look hard enough, (getting old) any idea of value? Thanks

Mmmm, sgeddies! So now I've got an old Paiste 16", 404, with a cracked bell. Don't know much about Paiste, but this one sounds fairly crappy. Was thinking of trying epoxy on crack, (read in another forum) but figure it's pretty expendible. Thoughts? Thanks

Next up - a set of Pearl, 14" hats. Look old, but have current Pearl logo. Don't sound too bad. Age/value? Thanks

Okay, I think this is my last one. This one I've had for quite a while - my back-up ride, (using a Sabian that I prefer). It's a 20" Zildjian with no ink markings. No idea of age or value, but would like to know. Appreciate any, and all responses to my queries. Thanks a lot!
