Could it be a Zilco? Some of those had very light stamps that conceivably could be sanded out.

That, or its an A Zildjian from the late 1970s where the stamp is so faint you can't see it or it'll rub off after a few cleanings.

The hammering on this cymbal from mbira is a giveaway that it is not a 70s Avedis Zildjian. Drumaholic told you, but he didn't include all his reasoning. But I'm very happy with his judgement. I think we are on the wrong track with this idea that heavy polishing or abrasive cleaning at the level that cymbal shows could remove all traces of a stamp. I'm not seeing complete and utter destruction. Just some superficial scratching. I can't be sure, but it seems more likely to me that it just didn't get a stamp at the factory. I've never seen a 1970s stamp which would "rub off after a few cleanings". But then I haven't seen that many Avedis cymbals, and I've cleaned many fewer than that. Has it actually happened to you redneckdrum? Using what sort of cleaner?

Nope, I am in Vermont.
To respond to others; there are places where the cymbal looks like it was scrubbed with coarse sandpaper but I agree that one would expect to see some bit of the stamp still present. When i put this cymbal side by side with my 50's A hollow stamp 22", and my (I think) 50's A hihat (with the outer edges of the stamp deeper) I would never guess they were closely related. Though I admit that is about the extent of the 50's A's i have seen so I trust others opinions who are more experienced. It looks to me that the hammering shows more on top of this cymbal than my other 50"s. Can anyone (Drumaholic?) post a photo of a 50's A that closely resembles this one? That would help me learn what to look for and all. It seems that there might be some variation over 10 years in hammering and lathing? |

I'm agreeing with drumaholic....50s...
But the sanding wasn't to remove any ink (late 70s/80)..the lathing isn't 70s at all.. But lots people on cymbalholic are talking about sanding down there Cyms to acheieve different sounds.. Since ride Cyms are usually thicker then most,...I'm thinking there's yr answer.. This truely looks like a late 50s ride CYM....most likely a small stamp...
