| seller note | A Metal Ear Trumpet, 19th century, retractable, lacquered steel with composition earpiece, 35cm overall length. Marked OL380. |
| comment | Actually an OL360 ! This is an early OL before makers names were required. Both my other examples have a ribbon ring. The lacquer on this one is a different colour to the Dowling and heavily pitted. The earpiece is a different moulding too. |
