F.E. Olds Recording model trombone in excellent condition. Serial number dates it to about 1964. All nickel silver except for the bronze bell (Re-O-Loy in Olds marketing materials). Original fluted inner slide tubes still intact, with very slight wear at the tips. No dents, and no evidence of dent removal. Original lacquer, with a few minor scratches and small wear areas as shown in photos. This one had clearly been in storage for a long time when I bought it about 5 years ago, and needed slide work. Sent it to the Slide Doctor, who did his usual outstanding job, and now plays well. I haven't played it enough and the realigned slide is still wearing in. Case is solid, with a slight musty odor (a little Febreze takes care of that for a while).
