 | Olds trumpet info request Hi Everyone, I hate to join just to get info, but I admit that's what I've done today. An older friend of mine dropped off an Olds Trumpet that he needs to sell and I promised to help him. The serial# is 525 and it has the burnished gold? finish. Tomorrow he brings a case and some mothpieces. I found the rouses.net site and I'm guessing if I just put it up on Ebay with much better pictures than these  , I'm doing about the best I can do other than mine him for as much functional and historical info as I can for the description. I guess my number one question is what is the model name -- The Olds Trumpet ? It's got some rub marks through the outer plating layer - gold and silver? but the bell looks OK and it doesn't appear to have ever been dropped. He says it plays well.Any comments are very welcome and again apologies for being a drop in member. I was just waisting too much time trying to research this. Thank You and here's 2 very quick images - |

| Re: Olds trumpet info request It looks like a Military Model but I'm no expert. Does it look like this? http://www.paulayickvintagebrass.com/ |

| Re: Olds trumpet info request More than likely this is the Olds model 1930 with a hammered bell option, NOT a military model. (unless it has an eagle on the bell with "The Olds") Last edited by A.N.A. Mendez : 06-18-2007 at 12:31 AM. |

| Re: Olds trumpet info request Thanks for the replies. It does not have an eagle with "Olds" - it's a simple "scroll" with "Olds" engraving. It also doesn't seem to have the same taper and flare as that military model, but that's a hard call from that perspective. I'll try I'll post a closeup. Ed |
