zildjian made in Canada

Posts: 6 Threads: 5

I have a set of 14" Made in Canada Zildjian hihats. They are marked thin and medium thin. I would like to find out their age. I have had them myself for 24 years now and they looked fairly aged when i got them. Any help is much appreciated

I am assuming between 1975 and 1979. Before 1975 canadian Zildjians were sold under the name Zilco by Azco and by 1981 Robert Zildjian had the factory running under the Sabian name. I could be way off, but that is what I managed to grab through wikis and whatnot. I'm sure someone else will chime in.
