The Olds Pinto Trumpet was a modular trumpet from the Olds factory. Modular because the idea was you could just replace parts if they got damaged. It featured a plastic coated valve set.
Although ugly in style the Pinto actually plays ok, but not up to the standard of other Olds Trumpets and therefore was unpopular with the public.
It remains unpopular with collectors these days and they are frequently traded on ebay for $100 or so.
The Olds T10 Studio Brilliant Bell is a rarer version of the Olds studio trumpet. The period 1952 through to 1967 is considered the best years for Olds trumpets with the emphasis being in the early 50's and earlier horns. A 1953 built Olds studio Brilliant Bell sold on Ebay for $825 in America in December 2013.
In the same year as mine. 1952
I would say approximately 1963-65
Best estimates put this trumpet as being manufactured around 1953.
As far as I am aware there isnt a trumpet brand name called Star Trumpets. There is an Old's Super Star Trumpet which is one of the lesser collectable olds trumpets which go for around $500 in perfect original condition.
1957
