Any of the stamps can have really low-pitched cymbals. In my opinion, old stamps "seem" to have more low-pitched cymbals because of the way they present the overtone series, in addition to the large separation between stick and wash. In other words, an old stamp can sound lower-pitched than a newer stamp of the same size that has a lower fundamental.

This recording with Philly Joe Jones has some of my favorite low-pitched sounding hats:
