Description

Welcome to our company, "The Bomb Shelter", one of the nation's largest stores of its kind selling vintage and antique items from all eras. eBay local pickup is available during business hours, please contact if you need this option!
HERE WE HAVE:
A vintage F.E. Olds & Son cornet! The writing on the bell is pretty faint and hard to make out but I'm pretty certain it reads (from top to bottom) "Ambassador Made in F.E. Olds & Son Fullerton Calif.". The serial number on it is "192729" which I believe means it was made between August 1955 and November 1956, presumable towards the end of that time period.
Comes in a vintage carrying case with a mouthpiece marked "Olds 3" and a nearly empty glass bottle of Slikstuf valve oil.
We don't have a key for the case.
CONDITION:
Being sold as is, for parts or repair! I'm far from an expert so it's untested and I'm going to guess it needs some work to be in good, usable condition.
It looks to be in pretty decent physical shape. It has a few small dings scattered about. There is finish loss spotting throughout and and spots of tarnish in these bare areas.  The first valve button sticks more than the other two but it does still pop up. Mouthpiece is pretty scratched up and the narrow end of it is bent. Valve oil dropper cap is dried out, not usable anymore but cut display piece! Case has dust buildup inside and general edgewear and scuffs/wear outside.
I cleaned wiped off the exterior of the case but otherwise left everything as found so I don't damage anything. Will come as shown, so please see photos!
