Ludwig Markings

Posts: 3165 Threads: 969

I'm trying to determine whether Ludwig used any markings to distinquish its Atlas Hi-Hat Stands from its Hercules stands? If it was a difference in the configuration of the stands, what exactly is the difference? In other words, how can I tell by looking at the stands, which is which? Were both produced in the 1970s?

Sorry about all the questions, but I've got a Ludwig stand here that I'm considering selling and I'm trying to determine which model it is before I put it up for offers. Mine's got the Ludwig black plastic tighteners on it, so my guess is that it's from the 70s.

THANKS in advance for your help!
