Very cool. Is it really from the 1930's? That would make it around 80 something years old. That's a little piece of history you have there.

Those "The Olds" cornets are still very much in demand. I know four very well-known pros who play them. The successor model "The Olds Standard" looks similar, but the wrap has been opened up so there's more room for the player's hands. Otherwise, they seem to play about the same to me. _________________ Vintage Olds & Reynolds & Selmers galore

That's a nice cornet! Basically the same design as my 1890 Besson, less the crook in the bell.
