This is a nice F.E. Olds Ambassador Trumpet.  Based upon the serial number of 85406, it dates to 1953 and was made in Los Angeles, CA.  The trumpet seems to be in pretty good shape with the valves working smothly and the lacquer looking good for the most part.  There is some minor corrosion and two creases in the bell.  I am unsure if the bell was made this way or not but there are no other signs of damage that would have caused these creases.  All of the three valves have matching serial numbers as well.  It comes with the original case (smells a little musty) as well as some accessories and a Mendez #1 mouthpiece.  The trumpet measures approx. 19\" long without the mouthpiece.  I do not play the trumpet nor am I an expert in these instruments so please ask questions if you have any.  Please see the photos.  Shipping/Handling will be $20 in the Continental U.S.. Thanks for looking.
