My Salvation Army find - help identify

Post by soitscometothis »

I found this baritone today at the Jacksonville, FL Salvation Army thrift store - paid a grand total of $50. Other than the dents/wear and tear, the only repair needed on it is a new cork on the water key, and it plays wonderfully. However, I could not find a make or serial number anywhere on the horn. I send the pic to one of my friends and he said he thinks it is a Conn. I'd imagine the instrument is nothing special, but if anyone sees something that might help give it an identity, that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like an Olds Studio to me (based on the nickel-silver bell flare).

EDIT: There's one on da Bay now ...

+1. Look at the top inside of the bell for the engraving.

Thanks for the help! I have checked the bell and all over the horn for any sign of an engraving, but it's gone. I looked this Olds model up on Hornucopia, and it seems like a match.
