All the cymbals that I bought new in 1965 all look like the top. Below 18" ride, the same stamp, slightly lighter impression? Same or different?

20" Ride mid-60s

18" ride mid-60s

I'll leave that up to the people who sort and file these things.

It would help a lot to be able to see the whole trademark and good front and back shots the both cymbals. But those look like 2 different eras.

Also you say that all the cymbals you bought in 1965 look like the above stamp. But I need to look at the photos from the exact originals and not just a similar one in order to give you a proper assessment.

Added full trademarks to the end of the old drum page.

http://www.gizex.com/old-drums/index.php?crnt=12&type=0

hh14 is a set of medium high hats, top cymbal, hh15 is set of heavy 15" high hat top, hh-15-2 is a single high hat, I think a top from the weight, that I used as a crash cymbal (I liked the heavy small sound) ride-18 is an 18" ride and ride-20" the obvious.

I was just sending in some more stamp pictures for the archives. They are all 1965 or before cymbals. I traced the logo on the 18" ride (after asking the question) and it matches the 20" ride exactly. Seems that one is just a normal impression stamp and one is a light stamping.

Two dots, two dashes.

Here's what I got:

All the hats are from the 50's. Two of them are late 1950's, and one other looks like a large stamp, but may actually be another 70's type. If its a large stamp this one would be from around 1955. Do me a favor and measure the total vertical dimension of this one for me.

18" Ride is from the 1970's

20" Ride early 1970's

The trademark on the 18" ride and the 20" are defintiely 2 separate stamp types. To be convinced of that look where the "H in "Turkish lines up with the "E" in "made" below it. On the 18" the "E" is to the right of it. On the 20" its directly above it.

Thanks for the added information. I'll shoot some more on Monday and PM you. I'll add the photos to the growing page, same as last messages in case someone else is watching. I don't want to clutter the forum with conversation.
