Paiste 2002 Black Lb 18" Ride

Loading...

Hello friends!

What can you tell me about this one?

It's Paiste 2002 Black Label and it says ride.

It's 18" and the weight is 1785g.

The serial number is 034xxx.

The year, what it's worth, anything?

Thanks.

Year is 1980. Value depends on who wants it bad enough. I have one that I use as a crash, around the same weight and I paid $125.00 a few years ago. However, mine has much stronger ink logos.

They are great cymbals IMHO.

I believe that the year may be 1970 since the 1980's series had a stamped PAISTE just above the serial number. This could be an oddball though and it didn't get the PAISTE...in that case 1980 as BBK says. Paiste was known for inconsistencies in serial numbers.

The other interesting thing is that the 2oo2 series was supposed to have been introduced in 1971 so if this is truly a 1970 date it is a very early 2oo2 cymbal.

18" would not be a highly valued size for a ride. Black labels seem to go up and down a lot so you never know. I would guess $100 to $150.
