562 with the choice of one or two rotary valves. Trombones of this size had previously been called bass trombones, although by this time, Olds had introduced the Super Olds Bass Trombone with a slide bore of.
I would think that there must be a year or more between the production of these two trombones. An earlier example has been reported to me with a serial number below 8400. The model name is not indicated in the engraving and so for the years that I have owned it until now, I thought that it was some custom ordered variant of the Standard Self Balancing trombone. The red brass alloy of the bell flare appears to be the same but has thicker walls, allowing for the typically heavy engraving in the more conventional position. Both the bear counter weight and fluted slides are also seen on Standard model trombones from this era, although not illustrated in the catalog. This is a three dimensional model of the trombone playing bear that had been engraved on the trombone bells since the mid-1920s. It has a very different look in that the tone band is not present and a very unique bell brace/weight is. The catalog indicates that 6" to 8" bells and the usual variety of bores were available in this model. The dimensions of the bell section appear to be the same aside from a 7" rather than 7 1/2" rim which, in later years, became the only size available. The slide section (.485"/.500" bore) is almost identical to the Supers made a few years later including the fluted slide tubes, although with earlier style braces.
