| My Dad bought me a rose brass bell Olds Recording in lacquer for $289 in 1959. In today's dollars that's between $1700-$1800. I still own the horn and have plans to have it refurbished in a few months. It doesn't have any dints, but it has a few little dings from bumping it on music stands through the years, and the lacquer is about gone. It still plays great. |
