1952 OLDS RECORDING TRUMPET SN 84136- full set of photos at bottom of page

SOLD

This is a 1952  Los Angeles Olds Recording trumpet that is in original condition with all original parts.  It has most (90%+)  of the the original lacquer remaining.   This trumpet was made during the third year of production of the new Recording model.   The catalog page above is from 1952 which introduced the new Mendez model.  This Recording trumpet was made just before the Mendez models were manufactured starting with serial number 86000. 


The new Recording model featured the same balanced configuration as the prior Super Recording as well as the offset middle valve, but differed with the new "Re-O-loy" (Olds name for higher copper content red brass) bell and leadpipe, as well as a spring loaded third slide trigger.  


Recording models have distinctive bell engraving which further set them apart from other Olds models of this era.   


This trumpet is clean inside and out.  All slides are smooth.   No dents, solder repair or signs of past repair.  Just a few areas of missing lacquer.   


Engraving is sharp and clear.  There are matching serial numbers on the valve spring barrels.


The valve plating on this trumpet appears to be original. The valve compression and action is excellent,


This trumpet comes with the original Lifton case in very good condition along with the factory guarantee that came with this trumpet 72 years ago.  The case also comes with a plastic rain cover that is a perfect fit for the case.  We've never seen one of these before, but it only has minor wear and is quite an interesting addition.  To round out the collection, we will include an Olds 3 mouthpiece and an Olds lyre of the same style that would have been supplied with this trumpet.  


FEATURES:

  • Nickel plated trim 
  • Balanced forward valve section
  • Re-O-loy (red brass) bell and leadpipe
  • Nickel plated valves with offset middle valve
  • Nickel-Silver two piece balusters
  • Spring loaded 3rd Valve slide
  • Third slide dump end
  • Ornate Bell Engraving
  • Bore: .460" Medium-Large Bore
  • Matching serial numbers on all valve spring barrels
  • New springs, felts and corks
  • Two Pin Brass Valve Guides
  • Trombone style lever water key on tuning slide and traditional waterkey on third valve slide.
