Both water keys spring loaded and open nicely. All valve slides are free moving and lubricated. But no deep or large areas of finish worn off. Finish on trumpet shows signs o f pitting. There are some very small dings and scratches here and there but nothing significant and nothing that disrupts airflow and standing wave.
Bell marking reads"OLDS A MBASSA DOR FULLERTON CALIF" Trumpet is in a Bb tuning. The earlier ones were made significantly better. Quality went downhill for Olds as they started making student models and mass production a bigger priority. I would estimate this trumpet was made sometime in late 1960/ early 1961.
The 350'000 series were made starting in June of 1960 and by the time it got.
