Who is this person and what model tuba is he holding?
Just a guess: one of the tubists who played for Spike Jones holding an old King...?
Nah, a King with clockwork rotors?

The "tubist" is Fred Allen (radio comedian). I have no idea about the tuba.

The tuba resembles a Bohland and Fuchs tuba that I worked on many years ago for a, then, customer.
