I am new to drummer cafe just wanted to say hello to my drumming bro's/sisters!
I picked up these Avedis Zildjian cymbals at a garage sale..2 for $10 bucks.I am trying to determine roughly when these were made. They are 22",20" very heavy,good stick articulation and LOUD! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I posted a few pics to help.

1960's?

Two for $100 would have been a bargain.

1960s would be my first answer too.

You can deeply search for the right answer looking in the Cymbalholic Stamp dating thread.

If I'm right, I had cymbals like that in about 1965 to 1968....They were very heavy and had a great sound. Those weren't used alot, mine had a much bigger keyhole when I finally traded them for some Paistes. Which I still have.
