Like this one, Andy? I think it's a little pricy but maybe the seller will post it again if it doesn't sell.

I have a very nice 3V recording-bell Contempora from around 1952 I could be convinced to part with, email me if you want to know more. Richard rct071365@aol.com
If you can't find a Contempora to suit you, the Olds and the King are basically the same instrument: Reynolds was hired by H N White away from York in the early days to develop King valved instruments while H N White worked with Thomas King to develop the trombone line. After coming out of retirement, Reynolds went to work with Olds before the company's ultimate demise. So it's no surprise the instruments are all very similar. And if that's not enough, Zig Kanstul was their shop foreman, so a new Kanstul is also basically the same instrument as well.
