Well you dog..
You should be happy.
I saw this a few days before it ended and just assumed it would top out at least over $200 like other Specials. Where were the higher bids? I would've gone for this one had I known it was this low.
That's a 1961 Olds Special. For 105 bucks! That's the correct original case, too. I'd be amazed if it's not a really nice playing trumpet. Maybe a little repair work there just after the crook on the home stretch of the bell section, but as long as it's not crinkled too bad (totally hard to tell from the picture), this horn just may surprise you.
Let us know how this one plays- really curious.
PD

I almost bid on it too.....but I noticed from the emailed pics ...that the bell is going to need some work and the tuning slide looks kind of crumpled up.
Since I do not do any body work..I figured a benchman might benefit more.
Good luck with the restoration.
I'm sure you can clean this one up pretty well.
Use FLITZ or a comparable polish like MET-ALL.
