1959 Olds Studio Bb trumpet

This is a 1959 Olds Studio trumpet.  The Studio was added to the lineup in 1948 at the same time the Ambassador was introduced and the Recording model replaced the Super Recording.  

These original Studio model trumpets featured a nickel-silver bell flare and a nickel silver tuning slide crook, which provide for "brilliant response" as described in the Olds literature of the day.  This is without a doubt one of the best original condition Studios we've ever seen.  The trumpet has minimal scratches to the original lacquer and valve compression and action is excellent.  

All slides are smooth. Engraving is sharp and clear. Matching serial numbers on the valve spring barrels. 

The trumpet comes with the original case which has been protected by a case cover, so the case is in excellent condition.  Also comes with the inspection card and key.   The original owner's name is on the luggage tag and written on the back of the inspection card.  The only real flaw to the entire package is that the zippers are broken on the case cover, but it has a snap under the handle, so the case cover can still be used even without functioning zippers.
