Trying to date my Zildjian 22 inch ride. Haven't weighed it yet but here is a pic of the stamp if anyone can tell me anything from that. Looks almost like it is painted white or has old polish in there or something. Pretty heavy cymbal as well! I am guessing 70's but have no idea!

Looks like 60's. Stamp height is 1" 1/2?
It is 1 and 1/2. So 60's ?...... I also have a pair of 15 inch Hi-Hats where the logo is much more faint and measure 1 1/4 inch?.... any ideas on that?
I would post the logo but it does not even show up in any pictures it is so faint on the top and bottom....Plus the bottom hat seems much lighter. At least I think it is the bottom hat. Logo reads the same as the ride.
Here is the stamp on one of the hi-hat cymbals. Got a decent pic after all. Measure 1 1/4.

Not so good on the other hi hat cymbol. But here is a shot. Any help?[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i292/skapunk_edge/photo-45.jpg[/IMG]

1 1/4" logo would suggest late 50's but the Zildjian Co line isn't more deeply stamped than the other lines. Therefore, I'm thinking early 70's. Might the logo be 1 3/16"? You also mentioned in your earlier post that the logo on the bottom cymbal was the same as on the ride, although it is hard to see if there are any dots in the squiggly U, as on the ride. If not, then also most likely an early 70's. Pics of the bottom sides might help.
