Anyone ever see one of these?
Very thin, 11" and has an autopraph on the back.

I want to say that stamp is 1930's
Like to hear Drumaholics take on that one.

Wow, strange, is it possible it's an inverted splash?
Isn't that just popped out? Don't do it, but all it should need is a flex back. Am I correct? Sure looks like it.

That's what I thought too. I tried to pop it back . There's no way it will flatten out there's so much tension on the curve up. Deffinetly seems to be made that way.
Well, does it sound like it's been manufactured in this shape?
[COLOR="DarkRed"]Mmmmmyeah...at first I thought it inverted, too...but usually an inverted cymbal is bent further towards the bell as well.
Kinda cool find....yes, definitely a pre-Trans stamp so we are looking at 30's or early 40's.....
I DO have some flanged Trans-stamp cymbals...but their egdes aren't as pronounced as this one.....
interesting.....[/COLOR]
I have a Wuhan 12" Splash in this shape. It's a cool cymbal, kinda a cross between a splash and china.
Getting somewhere.
You have a very early "A Zildjian" Swish cymbal. Avedis received a patent in 1938 for the swish design. Craigie donated copies of this patent and one for a crash cymbal to Jim Pettit during the Cymbal Summit to be permanently displayed at Memphis Drum shop.
