Well, it's not exactly on eBay, it's on gumtree in London. Follow the links, the picture is beautiful. The instrument itself is probably over 100 years old, judging from the badge citing Louis Vitak as the US importer.

Thanks for pointing out! I am interesting in getting a helicon, so must check this out (its local for me).

Anyone have any idea of its key? Not specified by the seller.

Must have fixed the ad, now the first line says "BBb four valve helicon."

Looks like a pretty fair deal, if it's a good player.
