I think the model is something like<br>Super S23 Double Bass Trombone<br>or S-23 Super Bass Trombone with F and E attachment, as seen in the 1970s catalog here:<br>http://www.itsabear.com/Olds_Docs/Olds1970.pdf<br>Serial Number 238739 (slide and bell match).<br>Built in Fullerton, Calif<br>I think this dates the trombone to the mid 1950's, per<br>https://www.adams-music.com/en/repair_and_maintenance/serial_numbers/olds<br>Case included. Will ship in a cardboard box and in the case.<br>The case is structurally sound and the latches, hinges, and handle work. Lots of rips and tears in the vinyl(?) cover.<br>Two mouthpieces included:<br>Bach 1 1/2 G in similar condition to the horn - used but good<br>and a corroded King 29<br>Good condition overall, very good for its age. Everything functions fine.<br>Overall look is old -- not beat up.<br>Most of the finish is good but not pristine. Several warn spots, including down one side of the slide.<br>Lots of small scratches and dings. Worst ding is in top middle of bell tube (show in pictures). No dents that affect function. Again, does not look beat up.<br>Slide is good.<br>Both valves need new springs. They operate well.<br>I've had it since roughly 1989. It was used for 2-3 years and has been in the case in a closet since.<br>
