There is a FE Olds Catalog I found on Google from 1962 with this Sousaphone in it. Condition Report:
Untouched and uncleaned by me. Please see photos. Its been about 30 years since my husband played Baritone horn in the high school band, he played this Sousaphone yesterday, and said it sounded good. Thought it would be a good restoration project, or play it just the way it is. Sousaphone has numerous dents (see photos). Brass is worn in areas as seen in photos. There are no holes or cracks. It is complete. Valves move easily. Slides for tuning I haven't tried to move, they are stuck right now, but he said, with a little penetrating oil and patience they should be easy to move. He just didn't have the time yesterday to work on them.
