What era are these zildjian hi-hats ?

Posts: 7 Threads: 1

Nice,

Thank you so much for your information !

I am pleased to hear it, actually this is what i felt like, mid 50's to early 60's.

So approximately what is the market price for these thin 15 inch late 50's / early sixties hihat's ?

P.S. Are they hand hammered ? band3

Thanks for all the extra photos. Yes now that I've seen the additional photos I'm seeingbands of lathing of different widths (more 50s than 60s)bell lathing variable (more 50s than 60s)bottom hammering fits with later 1950s or early 60stop hammering fits with later 1950s or early 60sThese aren't particularly "collectible" if by "collectible" you mean a significant price premium above their value as nice cymbals for playing music. There might be a slight price premium for cymbals with 1950s stamps and production clues over early 1960s cymbals, but I'm not really picking that in my analysis so far. So far only Trans Stamps and 18" Pre Trans Stamps are showing a significant "collectible" price premium. But it's early days in terms of my sample sizes and my analysis.

My answers are the same as before the extra photos you provided:

I see no visible hand hammering in the pictures you provided.

That doesn't mean that somebody else might not see something in them which they believe is strong evidence that they were hammered by a person holding a hammer using this technique:

rather than this machine based technique which (to my eye) produces a similar looking outcome:

Being 50s/60s doesn't change the previous expected value I gave:

Estimated market value: based on n=35 sales of 15" hi hats in my database the expected value is around $170 with a range from $110 to $244. That doesn't take the nice condition of yours into account, so I'd agree with Mike that you would be likely to get in the upper half of the expected range. In other words more than $175 is likely.

This might be because the expected price differs by $5 but my sample sizes don't allow me to pick up that small a difference. I can't rule that out. But at present only Trans Stamps and Pre Trans Stamps show a statistically significant price premium among 1970s and earlier Old As.
