The International Vintage Olds Trumpet & Cornet Registry
Welcome Friends & Olds Fans! This website is an attempt to document and publish to the greatest extent possible, the production log and current whereabouts of the trumpets & cornets produced by FE Olds & Son until the original company's demise in 1979. I'm an Olds nut, have a whole bunch of them myself and have always been curious to see what's out there and if there was any rhyme or reason to the production order. The database is sorted by serial number and includes a ton of useful information that is downloadable in both Excel and PDF formats.
The information will be continually gathered, compiled, sorted and posted on this site for viewing. The initial focus was only on Los Angeles horns with serials up to approximately 150,000, but the volume of entries that have poured in since this sites inception in 2007 has broadened the spectrum so to speak to include all LA and Fullerton horns. If you have an Olds instrument other than a trumpet or cornet, please send me an email with the info separately. You can submit information about your horn(s) without entering your email address so rest assured no personal information will be shared or published.
