B♭ Trumpet (Intermediate Model) Olds. The finish on this trumpet is spotty and worn, but the horn plays super. This is a great trumpet that will last for years more. Clean lead pipe and very good valves. Please check the price against the 'new 'ones.
Vintage Olds Ambassador Trumpet made in Fullerton, California. Fullerton mark and serial number date this horn back to 1954-1955. Serial matched valves. Pinky ring and updated 3-part bracing between bell and leadpipe (older versions were 5-piece) typical of Fullerton factory Ambassador models. Original Olds 3 (heavy) mouthpiece included.
