Olds Super SN/ 9702 Circa 1941

Olds Super SN/ 9702 Circa 1941 Manufactured in Los Angeles. Large Bore (462), with a beautiful warm sound.
This horn is famous for its Tone control Band around the rim of the bell. All of the outside slides are made of a hard drawn special nickel silver alloy.
All points of wear are also nickle silver making this horn incredibly durable. This horn has an incredible tone. With smooth valve action and good compression in the slides. This horn is in just moderate shape, but with a beautiful tone. The horn has been overhauled in its lifetime, but I can’t tell you who did the work. There is a very small patch right where the bell and the 3rd valve meet on the back side out of view. It doesn’t affect the playing but I noticed it.

The phone call was from Stella, telling you to meet her by Starlight at the local malt shop.

Please educate me, Steve.(I am a Tuba player & vintage brass lover. I've seen tons of vintage trumpets that don't have 1st value slide ring, but that one doesn't have 1st or 3rd. What was the logic behind that & when did they start putting 1st value slide rings as standard?

Trumpets are not perfect (Duh) We need all the help we can get. I think this horn originally had a 3rd finger ring, but as I mentioned in the video the former owner played the horn with his left hand and guitar with his right ( and sang ) He was a solo act and traveled around the country in the 1970's
