This is a 1951  Olds  Recording cornet that has been restored by Charlie Melk.

This is a very early Recording, made in 1951 which was the first year of production for this model after it replaced the Super Recording.

Like the Super Recording, this model has the offset middle valve and balanced forward valve design, but also introduces new features which made this horn one of the most unique and distinctive of all modern trumpets; the Rey-O-loy bell and leadpipe, more commonly known as "rose brass" for the higher copper content; the spring loaded third valve trigger; and the distincive custom engraving. These early Los Angeles Recordings each have unique hand engraving which was standarized in later models.

This cornet clean inside and out.  All slides are smooth.  

Engraving is sharp and clear

Valves are in excellent original condition
