This 16" Zildjian crash was created somewhere from 1946 to 1953, as indicated by the "trans stamp", with deeper impressions on the edge of the stamp. Cymbals with this stamp are highly sought after, as they were 100% hand-hammered, before Zildjian moved to machine hammering. This particular crash is thin with a quite complex, midrange-forward character. In very good condition, no cracks or keyholes.
