Looking at this Willson, I thought it looked a lot like York style, but even more like Boem & Meinl. I seem to remember some Marzans being made by Willson. Looks like an interesting tuba.

Re: Willson (Marzan style Willson?)
The horn is not as large as it might appear. The Willson-made Marzan 'solo' models only have a 17" bell and .638" bore. I'm 99% sure that's what this one is. This one appears to have the main slide on top a la Marzan but the ones I've seen also had 'Marzan' engraved on the bell.

Re: Willson (Marzan style Willson?)
I think this might be the same as the current(?) model 4400. Small 7/8 to 4/4 tuba.
