Vintage Zildjians - pls help date

Posts: 3 Threads: 1

These cymbals have been in my family since my dad bought them in the early 50's. They have seen constant use pretty much since then too! Can anyone help me date these with the pictures I've got?

There are 2 crashes, 13 and 14, and the ride is a 22.

Left to right, top to bottom:

The first is early to middle 1940's. The second is early 1950's. The third is also early 1950's.

Both of those that I classified as early 1950's could also possibly be from the late 1940's, but I can't see enough detail to make that determination. So without that, early 1950's is the safer bet.
