Olds and Son Serial Numbers. Since this began as a study of trumpet serial numbers, most of the data collected has been from trumpet owners, so the impact of this discrepancy is probably minimal on the actual trumpet serial number charts. UPDATE: I now have a report of an Olds Recording trombone s/n 56,668. That suggests that.

Get That Classic Brass Sound With an Olds Trumpet

Olds & Reynolds (formerly known as F.E. Olds) is a respected name in the field of brass instruments. They come in a variety of finishes and colors, such as nickel-plated and brass, and are available for both professionals and students alike. eBay offers these trumpets both new and gently used, so you can find an instrument for less.

In its earlier days, Olds used to produce professional quality brass instruments, but by the 1960s and 1970s, they shifted their business model to the mass-production of brass instruments for students. Among the trumpets, the models intended for students, and their features, are:

• The NTR110PC: Made of brass, with a 5-inch bell, a .46-inch bore, steel pistons and a first slide thumb hook
• The NLTR115: Made of yellow brass with a 4.875-inch 2-piece bell, a .46-inch bore and nickel silver outer slides
• The NPTR120: Made of brass with a 4.875-inch 1-piece bell, a .46-inch bore and a first slide thumb hook
• The NPTR120S: Made of silver-plated brass with a 4.875-inch 1-piece bell, a .46-inch bore and a first slide thumb hook

Olds Ambassador Trumpet Serial Numbers Value

Olds Trumpets dating from the 1950s and earlier are in quite high demand by professional trumpet players. Because of this, such trumpets have often been sold on eBay as collector's pieces. Classic trumpets from many years can be found for sale as well, such as 1936, 1941, 1946, 1949, 1951, 1959, and 1969. Some of the classic Olds trumpets that you'll find on eBay may include:

• Olds Recording trumpets of the 743xxx series
• Olds Ambassador trumpets
• Olds Super trumpets
• Olds Ultrasonic Super Star trumpets
• Olds Studio trumpets made in their Los Angeles factory

Because the classic Olds trumpets are collectible, you might wonder what it is that gives them such high value. Some factors in this include:

• Quality: Before closing in 1979, Olds was known for precision craftsmanship, personally making each instrument to phenomenal standards. This is why musicians often use these instruments for recordings and live performances.
• Year: Olds has been around since the 19th century. Especially old trumpets that hearken back to the jazz age during the 1920s and 1930s are especially prized for their historical value. Trumpets made in the late 1960s before Olds shifted to mass production are also valuable.
• Serial Number: The lower the serial number, the more valuable the trumpet.
