Nice to see this one again. You still hold the top place in my database for longest time lag between manufacture and first retail purchase. :)
Had not realized it was in the database... Just spotted it... Cool1
(wish I'd given that music store a good going over back then), who knows what other goodies they may have been hoarding..

This is my 11" paper thin splash (276 gram)..... I actually purchased this only in the 1970's as being a N O S item ... Sounds great and I gave it a good work out for many years prior to realizing just how vintage it was. Luckily I looked after it along the way and it's condition is good.Cheers John
I pretty much have that same splash but it’s branded as a Zilco. 250g. I bought it with two cymbals from the 1920s so I assume the Zilco is an early vintage from the 1930s. Great sounding cymbal that I haven’t yet found a place for in my live play. I always limit myself to five cymbals so. . .
