PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS &READ THE ITEM DESCRIPTION, SELLER POLICIES & INFORMATION

THIS IS A VINTAGE F.E. OLDS SPECIAL TROMBONE FRESH OUT OF A NEW JERSEY ESTATE ATTIC. IT HAS THE TRI-TONE / 3 TONE FINISH. THE INSTRUMENT COMES IN IT\'S ORIGINAL CASE WITH A MOUTHPIECE.
THE TROMBONE ASSEMBLES TIGHT. NOTHING IS STRIPPED OUT. THE SLIDE HAS SMOOTH ACTION. THE MOUTHPIECE PLUGS IN FINE. IT\'S NOT CRUSHED, CREASED UP, BENT UP, REPAIRED OR MODIFIED. I CAN SEE SOME SMALL LIGHT DINGS HERE & THERE, BUT NOTHING BAD OR CRUSHING. ALL SOLDERED JOINTS ARE SOLID & ORIGINAL.THE METAL FINISH HAS SOME SPOTTING AND BRASSING.THE ONLY ISSUE I SEE IS THAT THE LITTLE TWIST RING THAT LOCKS THE SLIDE CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE IS MISSING - SEE PHOTOS. THE THREADS ARE FINE. THE LITTLE RING JUST NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CASE IS COMPLETE. THE VELVET INTERIOR IS STILL INTACT. THE LID HINGES AND CLASPS ARE STILL INTACT. AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS, THE OUTER CASE FINISH HAS SOME BLEMISHES FROM AGE & STORAGE. IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP.
I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. (I HAD A TRUMPET PLAYER FRIEND OF MINE PLAY A FEW NOTES THROUGH THE HORN. IT STILL HAD A NICE LOUD RICH SOUND.) THE TROMBONE HAS NOT SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY FOR MANY DECADES. YOU ARE SEEING IT HERE FIRST. I WAS ADVISED BY THE ESTATE THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER PLAYED IN A RETRO BALL ROOM TYPE DANCE BAND IN THE 1960s. IT\'S BEING OFFERED WITH NO WARRANTIES AS A VINTAGE BRASS WIND INSTRUMENT FOR RESTORATION.IT\'S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE.
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO VALUE, BOX SIZE & WEIGHT, THIS ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED VIA FULLY INSURED UPS. THE WINNING buyer WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE A PHYSICAL MAILING ADDRESS. (UPS WILL NOT DELIVER TO A USPS POST OFFICE BOX.)

** NEVER A RESERVE **

ALL ITEMS I OFFER ARE FROM NUMEROUS EAST COAST ESTATES (MOSTLY FROM MARYLAND, WASHINGTON DC, VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA). THEY ARE OBTAINED THROUGH CONSIGNMENT OR ESTATE LIQUIDATION PURCHASE. I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ESTATE PERSONAL PROPERTY CONSIGNMENT & LIQUIDATION LLC FOR 15 YEARS. I AM NOT A \"YARD SALER\" OR A \"PICKER\". YOU ARE SEEING ITEMS BROUGHT TO ME RIGHT OUT OF THE ESTATES. I DO NOT TAMPER WITH ITEMS, POLISH UP ITEMS OR ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY. I WANT buyers TO VIEW THEM AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO WHEN THEY CAME FROM THE ESTATES. I DESCRIBE ITEMS AS I AM LOOKING AT THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. IF I TEST THE FUNCTION OF A MECHANICAL ITEM, THE DESCRIPTION ADVISES OF WHAT THE ITEM IS DOING IN FRONT OF ME WHEN TESTED, NOT AFTER IT HAS BEEN OWNED BY THE BUYER. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS FINAL SALES FROM ESTATE LIQUIDATION WITH ALL WEAR OF A USED VINTAGE ITEM. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM MINT IF I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT\'S IN MINT CONDITION. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM RARE OR SCARCE IF I TRULY BELIEVE IT TO BE SO.
THE ITEMS LISTED HERE ARE NOT BEING OFFERED LOCALLY AT THE SAME TIME. I WILL NOT END AN sale EARLY TO GET MORE MONEY FOR AN ITEM LOCALLY. ONCE AN ITEM IS UP & RUNNING, IT STAYS RUNNING UNTIL THE sale ENDS (UNLESS I MAKE A BAD DESCRIPTION ERROR & HAVE TO END THE sale TO FIX THE PROBLEM & THEN RE-LIST IT.)ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD TO THE WINNING buyer AT THE AMOUNT THEY WON IT FOR. I NEVER REFUSE COMPLETION OF A TRANSACTION BASED ON WHAT AN ITEMS SELLS FOR. (IE:IF A VALUABLE ITEM HAPPENS TO GO SUPER CHEAP, YOU GET IT CHEAP.)
MY sales ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD. MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN & PLAIN TO UNDERSTAND. I TAKE NUMEROUS EXCELLENT CLEAR CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE ITEMS. I USE PLAIN BACKGROUNDS AND SIMPLE PLAIN FONTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FLUFFY BORDERS, FANCY BACKGROUNDS, OVERBLOWN HYPE WORDING OR CONFUSING FANCY LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE HYPE IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ITEM APPEAR MORE SPECTACULAR THAN IT REALLY IS. I WANT BUYERS TO SEE SOMETHING AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO WHAT I AM SEEING WHEN THE ITEM WAS ACQUIRED. I DO NOT USE THE DISTRACTION OF OVER-FLUFFED ADVERTISING IN AN ATTEMPT TO CAUSE AN EMOTIONAL REACTION TO IMPULSE offer & THEN HAVE BUYER\'S REMORSE.
COLLECTORS PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. MY ITEMS WILL NOT DISAPPEAR PART WAY THROUGH THE sale. I CANNOT END sales EARLY FOR THE \"WHAT WILL YOU TAKE FOR IT NOW\" OR \"WHAT IS YOUR BUY IT NOW PRICE\" EMAILS. THE ESTATES USUALLY PREFER STRAIGHT sales TO FOLLOW THROUGH. SOMETIMES ITEMS DIE AND SOMETIMES THEY DO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OFFER. THAT\'S THE FUN OF AN sale. PLEASE NOTE:OCCASIONALLY, IF THE ESTATE REQUESTS, I DO USE THE \"BUY IT NOW OR BEST OFFER\" FORMAT. ALSO,I NEVER PUT A RESERVE ON ANY sale.RESERVESARE JUST A PHONY WAY OF TRYING TO SELL SOMETHING BY GIVING THE ILLUSION OF AN sale.
I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM.I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN AND/OR TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION. IF I MADE NO GROSS ERRORS, THE ITEM IS AN ESTATE FINAL SALE. THIS IS MERELY DUE TO THE ITEMS BEING ANTIQUES / VINTAGE / PRE-OWNED.I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR: BUYER\'S REMORSE, FALSE or FRIVOLOUS COMPLAINTS MADE IN AN ATTEMPT TO MASK BUYER\'S REMORSE OR FALSE RETURN DEMANDS USING response INTIMIDATION.
PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I CANNOT CANCEL A TRANSACTION FOR QUESTIONS ASKED AFTER THE ITEM HAS ENDED. I CANNOT ACCEPT RETURNS FOR ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN BROKEN BY THE BUYER, TAKEN APART BY THE BUYER, ALTERED OR TAMPERED WITH IN ANY WAY BY THE BUYER. I CAN OFFER NO WARRANTIES OR RETURNS ON MECHANICAL ITEMS OR WATCHES IN REFERENCE TO HOW LONG THEY WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE AFTER RECEIVED BY THE BUYER. I TEST ALL WIND UP TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES AS BEST AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LISTING THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I OBSERVE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO WAY TO PREDICT HOW LONG A VINTAGE/ ANTIQUE / PRE-OWNED MECHANICAL ITEM OR WATCH WILL CONTINUE TO WORK AFTER IT IS SHIPPED.
PLEASE NOTE: MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS. JUST TO BE SAFE WHEN offerDING, PLEASE ASSUME THEY POSSIBLY DID NOT COME FROM SMOKE FREE HOMES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SMELLS \"OLD\" TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT \"SMELLS LIKE TOBACCO SMOKE\" TO SOMEONE. I CANNOT OFFER ANY RETURNS FOR AN ITEM THAT A BUYER SAYS \"SMELLS OLD\" OR \"SMELLS LIKE SMOKE\". MOST OF THE ITEM I OFFER ARE OLD. JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY SMOKED BACK THEN. SOME OF MY ITEMS SAT FOR DECADES IN OLD ESTATE HOMES WHERE THERE WAS PROBABLY TOBACCO SMOKING GOING ON AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.
PLEASE REMIT PAYPAL PAYMENTS WITHIN 3 DAYS OF sale\'S END. I AM VERY FRIENDLY & ACCOMMODATING, BUT NON-PAYING / NO CONTACT buyers DESTROY THE VALUE OF ITEMS. IF A WINNING buyer DOES NOT PAY FOR AN ITEM, I WILL HAVE TO FILE AN NON-PAYMENT CASE TO RECOUP THE FEES. I SHIP WITHIN 5 DAYS AFTER CLEARED PAYMENTS ARE RECEIVED.
I ALWAYS TRY TO PACK MULTIPLE SMALL PURCHASES IN ONE BOX TO SAVE THE WINNING buyer A BIT ON THE SHIPPING/PACKING COST (AS LONG AS IT IS SAFE TO DO SO W/O RISK OF BREAKING ITEMS BY JAMMING THEM IN ONE BOX.)I NEVER STACK FULL SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER UNLESS THEY HAVE TO BE PACKED IN SEPARATE BOXES FOR SAFETY IN TRANSIT. (MOST LARGE & HEAVY ITEMS SHIPPED VIA UPS WILL HAVE TO BE PACKED IN SEPARATE BOXES FOR SAFETY.) I SHIP ALL SMALL ITEMS IN THE USA VIA USPS PRIORITY MAIL W/ DEL CONF. ALL ITEMS OVER $200 ARE SHIPPED WITH SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION. I DO NOT SHIP VIA USPS PARCEL POST, USPS 1ST CLASS OR FED-EX AT ALL, NO EXCEPTIONS. I SHIP ALL LARGER & HEAVY ITEMS IN THE CONTINENTAL USA VIA FULLY INSURED UPS GROUND.
PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO UPS GROUND SHIPPING TO ALASKA, HAWAII OR APO ADDRESSES. ALL ITEMS SHIPPED TO ALASKA, HAWAII OR A U.S. APO WILL HAVE TO BE SENT VIA AIRMAIL. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES.THE UPS SHIPPING COST SHOWN IN MY LISTINGS IS FOR INSURED UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES, PRO PACKED BY THE UPS STORE. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT ANY LARGE ITEM AIRMAIL COST BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I ONLY SHIP ITEMS. I DO NOT DO PICK-UPS AT ALL DUE TO A HORRIFIC BUSINESS SCHEDULING.FOREIGN BUYERS USING A USA 2ND PARTY MAIL FORWARDING COMPANY TO GET AROUND MY PROHIBITED COUNTRIES LIST TAKE CAREFUL NOTICE:THE INDICATED USA SHIPPING LOCATION IS THE BUYER\'S ADDRESS, NOT THE OVERSEAS 2ND PARTY LOCATION THE BOX WILL EVENTUALLY BE FORWARDED TO. I DO NOT PROVIDE ANY DISCOUNTS FOR FALSE / TRIVIAL / FRIVOLOUS \"ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED\" COMPLAINTS MADE IN A FRAUDULENT ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE SHIPPING COSTS AND/OR CUSTOMS FEES PAID FOR BY THE SELLER.
