This is a trumpet with a sterling silver bell and wonderful gold inlay with some of the finest engraving you will see. F. A. Reynolds used to work for King and went into business on his own. He also  worked with Mr.  Roth in Cleveland Ohio. They had the "Roth Reynolds Instrument Company"  Both Roth and Reynolds made a line of school instruments. The F. A. Reynolds company was formed in the 1930's by the man who headed up the Olds factory in the 50's.  Reynolds also made a line of custom horns that were individually produced  for famous Jazz players.  Reynolds produced brass instruments for the US military during World War II. In 1964 the company was acquired by Norlin Music and production was merged with Olds.

He also made a matching cornet.. A friend of mine had one like this sold it for over $1500 several years ago. Harry "Sweets" Edison played a Reynolds.
