To see my current serial number estimates and reasoning.
I'll update this as I receive significant new information. If you have anything to add to this please #OLDS CORNET REVIEW UPDATE# , including the serial number, the date manufactured or bought new, and the source of the information (memory, receipt, etc). I've used this as a framework on which to add new pieces of information I have gathered.į.E.Olds began making trombones around 1910. Shortly after his death in 1928, the company introduced its initial trumpets, under the leadership of his son, Reginald B. The earliest trumpets were simply called "The Olds".
Also introduced near the beginning were the French Model and the Military model.
