The set consists of

One matching Ludwig Snare Stand.
Two unmarked cymbals (high hat?)
One Zildian Avedis Cymbal
One Ludwig-Zenjian Cymbal
One carrying case for snare/hardware
Misc. Hardware & hand percussion instruments.



I love it when stuff like this comes through our auctions. I about had a heart attack when it came in. But here it is now, in my hands, ready to be sold. Please check the ebay listing for information. If any of my drummer friends could check this out and perhaps help me with a few details, I'd be extremely grateful as I'm not entirely sure what half of this misc hardware is, etc. For instance, if you view the pictures, there appears to be some kind of engraving above the text on the cymbals, is that notable?

Can you post the stamps on the cymbals? I really geek out over old Zildjians.

The auction is going to start in 14 minutes, which isn't much longer than it would take for me to upload these all to imageshack and get links for forum size images.

I have pictures of them on there. If you want any more photos, I can get them tomorrow (I have this stored at the auction, was already there twice today, don't feel like going back to work again haha)

No problem, it's more of a curiosity for me than anything. If they're K Constantinople cymbals, folks will probably want their weight in grams. I recently sold a set of hats around this same vintage for $700. They were mint, still had the smith's signature very faintly on the underside of the cymbals.
