Circa 1959 Brochure

Thanks to John Thorne for providing this fold out brochure. As with many Olds catalogs and brochures, it is undated, but it uses the “Custom Crafted” tag line, which first appears in the catalog that is estimated to be from 1961. The music store that is stamped on the brochure does not have a zip code in the address, so this tells us that it is prior to 1963.

Based on the graphics looking more like the 1957 catalog, we’ve estimated this as a 1959 publication. The brochure mentions that there are 8 trumpet models available. There are 7 shown in the 1957 catalog, but if you include the Aida and Post horn, there are 10 in the 1960 price list, and 8 if you exclude those two. But if there are any other clues to suggest a different date, please let us know.
