1947 Olds Standard Bb trumpet - SOLD

SOLD

This is a 1947 Olds Standard Bb trumpet in very good original condition.  It retains almost all of its original lacquer.   The "Olds" was the original trumpet made by Olds and as other models were added during the 1930's, this original model was relabeled as the "Olds Standard".

The Special model was introduced just before WWII and this is when "The Olds" became "The Olds Standard".     The 1941 catalog image matches this trumpet. The Standard was considered a professional level instrument, as were all Olds trumpets until the Ambassador was introduced in 1948. 

The Olds trumpets made just after WWII are highly sought after as excellent players and this one is a great example of the quality being produced by Olds at that time.

The valve plating on this trumpet appears to be original .  The valve compression and action is excellent, an indication that it may not have been played extensively.    

Has matching serial numbers on top caps, valve stems and piston spring barrels.  Last two digits of the serial number are stamped on the slide tubes.

All slides are smooth.  Engraving is sharp and clear.

The only thing missing from this trumpet is the third slide stop rod.  Reproduction stop rods can be obtained from a seller on ebay.

Comes with the original case in very good condition with original paperwork as well.
