I know Olds sold a pro-level Ambassador cornet at one time, mostly for export to Europe, but I thought it was a shepard's crook. Anybody know anything about the horn being offered here?

Looks like an Ambassodor Eb trumpet with the optional D slide.

The Olds Central website has a copy of the Olds catalog

I saw this auction and became suspicious seeing the Amado waterkeys. Could have been an add-on, but I am not familiar with the original F.E. Olds company using these. The reincarnated company does, I know.

It says piccolo trumpet, but it is not a piccolo in case you missed it in the other thread.
