Maybe a Cerveny?

BBb tuba 4RV with a pitch adjustment loop in the main tuning slide. Somewhat odd for the year of 1916, as the pitch reform from HP to LP in the German spoken areas was in 1920.

Maybe for playing in group with piano...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

My guess is a Bohland & Fuchs BBb.
