Question
Hello can you tell me how much a OLDS Special F.E. & Bon Fulleton Ca Trumpet would cost (that is what is engraved on the trumpet). I think it was made back in 1960's. The serial number on the trumpet is 446264 and it has no dings or dents on it and no signs of rust. It has been sitting in a case that has an emblem on it that says Vega-Bond Geib Chicago. Please advise asap.
Hi Gabrielle,
I don't do estimates or appraisals on here. This horn was made in approximately 1963. Its actual value would - of course - depend on a lot of factors. But, the Special was a good quality instrument. I'd advise checking completed auctions on eBay to see what they have been going for.

Expertise
Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.
Experience
I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
