Vintage Zilco's Purchased In 1967

Posts: 84 Threads: 36

Can someone give me an indication of the decade of manufacture of these Zilco's. I purchased the set in 1967 so the cymbals pre-date the modern 1968 to 1970 Zilco's. Research on the web says they are from the 1920's to 1930's. Zildjan will not give dating opinions according to their web site. With over 400 years of history, you could understand. To see the logo on these cymbals, go to http://www.findthepower.com/ZilcoCymbal.htm

Thank you in advance for replies.

Any hand hammering on these cymbals or are they just lathed?

There is both hammering and lathe turnings on the cymbals.

Zilco's were orig. 2nd line A Zildjian's (circa 1937) (source: The Cymbal Book by Hugo Pinksterboer page 150) From what Ive heard Zilco's made prior to 68 are hard to date...
