mrfabulous963 · 12-17-2005, 10:29 PM

Need aprox. Date and Model of an Olds Cornet.

Numbers engraved on 2nd valve casing are "2445"

Engraved on Bell "the OLDS"
underneath it is " F.E. Olds & Sons L.A. California"

Any Help Would Be Great

I have located the date and Model

Approx. 1931 F.E. Olds & Sons "The Olds" in Polished Brass

Anyone have a price guide so I know how much it's worth?

Hi,

Contact Nick DeCarlis, owner of the vintagecornets.com site, and tell him about your very early model "The Olds" cornet!

Nick dearly loves his, and until not too long ago, performed on his "The Olds." He said it was one of the very few cornets he'd want to play on a gig!

I notice a photo of him playing recently on what is surely a 1930's era F. Besson cornet but I'm sure that his "The Olds" cornet still gets a lot of use! (He likes my Boston 3-Star and Wild Thing short model cornets a lot too when we've had the opportunity to play together . . . and, coming from Nick, this is a great compliment)

If your cornet is in great shape it is a very fine cornet indeed!

Let us know what Nick says, and tell him Tom says "Hi!"

Sincerely,

Tom Turner
