I have had the Olds for a few years but admit it sits in the cupboard nearly all the time and have been convinced recently I should sell.
It is in original condition, a few blemishes on the stock ends and a few small marks here and there on the instrument but in excellent condition given its age.
I have tried to take photos from every angle but happy to take more if needed.
It comes with its original case and Olds mouthpiece.
I am located in the UK but will ship anywhere.
Looking at £1000 plus shipping.

The Olds Symphony (also called O-25) is a very nice, under-appreciated trombone. (Not very many were produced.) Designed with assistance from Robert Marsteller (Los Angeles Philharmonic). I have one almost identical.
This one, from ~1972, appears to be in very good condition, except for some spots of plating loss on the inner slide tube stockings. (I presume the slide works smoothly, nevertheless.) 0.554" bore, 0.565" bore F-attachment, 8.5" red brass bell. The Olds 20 mouthpiece (roughly ~5GS size) works well with this trombone, and fits perfectly into the slightly undersize Olds receiver.
I believe the £1000 price is reasonable. It needs a good home, and someone to play it.
