Your trumpet maybe, but my trumpet from 1957 only has tuning slides, which cannot be used while playing.

Interesting. A student horn I guess? I've never owned one that didn't have at least a third valve slide ring. I think they were widespread around the time that the trumpet really took over from the cornet, around 1900-1920. My pre-War Olds has moving slides.
