"Hello ,
Thank you for your question regarding your cymbal's age. If your cymbal has
a 6 digit serial number then the first number will give you a very rough
estimate on it's age. For example if the first number begins with a 7,
(793558) then your cymbal could have been manufactured in 1967, 1977, or
1987.
If your cymbal has an 8 digit serial #, the first two numbers indicate the
year it was manufactured. For example, if the serial # on your cymbal is
99642218, then your cymbal was manufactured in 1999.
We changed our serial number process in the late 80's from 6 digits to 8
digits.
Thanks for the question.
