USED ZILDJIAN / Late '50s A Small Stamp 20-inch 2050g Old A Zildjian Ride Cymbal [08]

A Zildjian with a small stamp
This is believed to be a late 1950s model with a stamp width of approximately 23 mm
This is an A Zildjian from the “Small Stamp” era.
Unlike current models, the hammering pattern and lapping differ; these cymbals from that era possess the characteristic brightness of the A series while also offering a deep, expansive sound and rich overtones. They offer a unique sound that cannot be found in the current A series, making them highly sought-after vintage A cymbals in recent years.

It retains the bright, crisp characteristics unique to the A series, yet its lighter weight gives it a delicate impression.
However, its composed, well-balanced sound—free from any harshness—is characteristic of this era.

Although there are some minor edge scratches, the sound is excellent and perfectly acceptable for an instrument from this era.
It is still in excellent condition and can be used without any issues.

Size: 20 inches
