~ 1965 F.E. Olds Special Trumpet ~* Tricolor Brass / Nickel / Copper* Good Used Condition - 100% Complete* Excellent Playing Horn * Smooth Quick Valves * Slides All Free & Lubricated* Made In USA (Fullerton, CA)* Olds Hardshell Case * Mouthpiece Included*Will Ship Worldwide*Great Vintage F.E. Olds Trumpet - Make An Offer!!Here’s a wonderful 1965 vintage F.E. Olds Special model L-10 trumpet outfit complete with mouthpiece and Olds hardshell case. This horn has a 3-tone brass-nickel-copper finish. The bell flare is copper (rose brass) and the rest of the bell is solid nickel. The original shiny lacquer finish on this horn is approx. 80-85% intact in my estimation (please see photographs) and shows some average wear throughout. The horn still has a nice shine to it and Olds lacquer is known to be pretty durable. Some other features are an adjustable 3rd slide ring, mother-of-pearl finger button inserts, and lever style water keys. This trumpet was designed to be an advanced model trumpet and it was made in the USA by the F.E. Olds company. Serial number is 504XXX indicating that it was manufactured in 1965 when quality was top notch at the Olds plant. This trumpet has nice smoothly operating valves. Valve plating is intact and each piston is stamped with the horns unique serial #. The slides are all smooth and have just been lubricated. The valve slides all make a nice "pop" when pulled. Bell is engraved "OLDS SPECIAL F.E. OLDS & SON FULLERTON CALIF." with a nice ribbon pattern. There are no major dents, just a few smaller dents and some little dings from normal use and age. This horn is 100% complete and plays great as you would expect from a mid-1960s vintage Olds, it's very freeblowing with a rich beautiful tone. This is a medium-large bore horn. OLD hardshell plush-lined case included which is in decent used condition, showing some average wear and cracked up plastic along the bottom. The case handle has been replaced at some point. Latches work good and this case provides good hard-shelled protection for the horn. Also included is a mouthpiece so you can start playing this trumpet instantly. As a bonus you get an Olds marching band lyre. Please check out the 12 photographs I have posted and if you have any questions I will be happy to answer them. Olds is a trusted name for quality musical instruments, and this would make a great trumpet outfit for an advanced player or Olds collector.
