Vintage Olds Ambassador Tenor Trombone — SN 239646 — Original Case + Conn Mouthpiece

For sale: F. E. Olds & Son — Ambassador tenor trombone, serial #239646. This is an original Olds Ambassador with its original hard case, a cleaning cloth, and a Conn trombone mouthpiece included.

Condition & notes (please read carefully):

• Overall: Fair — cosmetic wear consistent with age; lacquer faded and scratched in several areas; multiple small dings.
• Outer slide: Moves smooth and free along the length, but slide bumper/end at the outer slide is smashed (visible in photos) — cosmetic and functional impact at the slide end; will likely need a bumper replacement or repair to fully protect/align the slide end.
• Inner slide / playing action: Slide action itself is free (no sticking).
• Tuning slide: Moves smooth.
• Water key: Missing (can be replaced fairly cheaply by a repair tech).
• Case & accessories: Original Olds hard case included, cleaning cloth included, Conn trombone mouthpiece included.

Why buy this? Olds Ambassadors are solid, serviceable vintage student/intermediate trombones with a classic Olds sound; with a modest repair/service this would be a reliable player or a good project/restoration piece.
