George roberts bass trombone chronology

To the best of my knowledge the bass trombones George Roberts played are, in chronological order:

Conn 70H
Olds P-22
Holton TR183
Conn 110H
Kanstul 1670

Does anyone out there know the approximate dates that he played each of these instruments?

He also played a Yamaha for a while.

You want to define this as endorsed. He played many more horns then that list but that is the majority of what he endorsed/

George had two stints playing Olds.

Conn 70H
Olds S-22 (TIS)*
Holton TR183
Olds P-22
Conn 110H
Kanstul 1670

* There was a later, non-TIS version of the S-22; not sure if George ever played on that one.

I think the Yamaha maybe came after the P-22...
