19-- Ambassador Trumpet

ieattheclowns · 02-11-2007, 11:16 PM

I have an Ambassadors Trumpet made by F.E Olds and Sons In Los Angeles California. I was wondering if anyone knew the range in dates these were made. Also, If they are worth anything at all. Thanks

Google "Olds Ambassador Los Angeles" and it should take you to the Olds sight which will allow you to date the horn by serial number.

They are good horns but unfortunately not worth much because so many of them were made.

The Serial Number is 54442 so I believe that is around 1951 Is that gonna be worth anything or still no because of so many made.

That serial number should place it in the first half of 1966.

OOOPS!!! Sorry, you're right. I thought it was a 6 digit serial number rather that a 5 digit S/N. Again, I'm sorry.

The 60's were Six diget serial numbers wern't they?

ieattheclowns · 02-11-2007, 11:59 PM

Anyone know what I could possibly see a reasonable price for this horn to be?

Post a picture. We would be guessing if we have not seen the horn and know if it has red rot or dents or needs refinished, etc,. Thanks.

Lousy condition, not worth much of anything.
Decent condition (not too many dents, none serious), worth about $50 - $75.
Like-new condition, worth about $200 - $250.
