The name Zilco was reintroduced in 1968 when Avedis Zildjian opened a Canadian factory, the AZCO plant (which is now the home of Sabian). The original use of the name Zilco was earlier (1937- 1964) when Zilco was a value line of cymbals made in the US. This time around the cymbals are called Zilco by AZCO and include the word Canada.
According to The Cymbal Book (p150) there were two sorts of Zilco by AZCO cymbal types. One was produced in the same way as the Avedis cymbals of the day. The other was a thinner unhammered cymbal. I don't know if the second style was restricted to the 1976-1979 period, or if both cymbal types were present in both periods. I don't yet know if there was any die stamp difference between the two eras or between the two different types of Zilco by AZCO cymbals. but as you can appreciated on the pictures this one is the hand hammered
