$450 OBO Vintage 40s/50s Zildjian A 20" Med. Th. Dance Ride 1949g

$450 or best offer. Up for sale is a Vintage 1940s-50s Zildjian A 20" Medium Thin Dance Ride. No cracks, but there is some keyholing and some dings/fleabites (see photos). This weighs a nice Medium Thin 1949 grams and the cymbal is in good shape. Ink stamps are present below the factory stamp reading "MEDIUM THIN DANCE". This cymbal has a slightly smaller hole. The factory stamp is 1 13/16" tall (just over 1 1/8") and does not have the 3 dots, which points to 1940s-50s era of Zildjian cymbals. We think this is a Trans Stamp because of the stamp size (less than 1 1/4") and the model of cymbal. This cymbal has nice lathing and hammering. Judging from the condition, the cymbal looks to have been used but certainly well taken care of. Aside from some patina on the finish, the cymbal has one flea bite and approximately 4 micro-dings in the edge but no cracks (see photos). Excellent Vintage A stick tip sound, very clear bell with fine lathing, and dark mellow wash as expected of a 1940s-50s Medium Thin Ride. You do not often see these Dance Rides. Very rare.
