Holton BBb model
https://photos.app.goo.gl/aXwb2TavfYgtPmxD8" target="_blank. I've picked all my friends brains. Time for the TNFJ to give their opinions on what model Holton this might be. Mid 1920's from the serial number.
Conn 20-21 J
Conn 10J, Conn 26 K, Martin Mammoth, Mirafone 186, Soviet Helicon, Holton Raincatcher Sousaphone, Yamaha 103, King 1240.

Re: Holton BBb model
Assuming the SN is 92042, it's from 1929...same as my Eb Monster!
By 1929 this was called a BBb Bass--Recording Model--Mammoth on the Holton price lists.
Refer to page 3 of this price list:
