I would suggest steering away from the Yamaha YBB-102. They were discontinued some 15 years ago, which means it probably has a lot of miles on it and the damage that goes along with that, whether immediately apparent or not.
A Besson could be a good deal, but if the price is low, I'd be suspicious.
I suggest going with the Olds. One of the schools that my shop services has a fleet of them from 1967, and despite having been repaired a number of times, they still are solid horns that sound really good. The ergonomics of the Olds valve section is amongst the best ever made, enough so that I bought one of them myself. If you buy the Olds and don't like it, I'll buy it from you for the price you paid.
