Really green newbie here (a bass player)
What kind of cymbals came with Slingerland sets circa 1948?. The ones I have with this set have no makers mark on them.

Cymbals did not automatically come with the drums. They had to be purchased separately.
[COLOR="DarkRed"]But drum co. catalogs often offered 'stock' cymbals with their sets. Are you positive there is no stamp on 'em anyhwere ? Look for one - it may be tiny. Also can you post a photo ?[/COLOR]
Okay, the largest is 15 1/2" diameter and has the Zildjian logo.
Looks like turkish(?) characters on top, below that is AVEDIS. Below that is 'ZILDJIAN CO. , GENUINE TURKISH CYMBALS, MADE IN USA'
It has what looks like loose rivets in four spots evenly spaced around the perimeter about 1 1/8" in from the outside edge.
There are two 13 3/8" diameter that have the same logo but no rivets.
One 11 1/8" diameter and one 11" diameter with the same logo.
The last may not even be part of the set but its 11" in diameter and is very thin. I can flex it with my fingers. Instead of a stamping it looks like it has an ink stamp logo that is round, about an inch in diameter and has lettering I can't make out.
Also there are three cowbells with the set, any ideas on how to identify the manufacturer?
Thanks much for the help.
