It's badly damaged but if I had the money I would have sent work done and put a monster Eb bell on it.

Might be OK if you repaired it yourself for your own use or had a niece of nephew going though tech school who needed a senior project. Some decisions who have to be made: Fix the bell w/o garland or get an entire new bell.
If you are a retired repairman who enjoys working on things as a leisurely pace for enjoyment and at least a little money back, it might be a decent project.
Not one to take into a shop and say "Fix it" Probably spend more money fixing this one as getting another which is already in good shape.
Or fill it full of concrete and call it a mailbox post.

You won't have to bid too high to beat my ceiling price. This horn is going to need A LOT of work. Tell you what.... buy it and send it to me to fix.

These Sanders 'Imperial' tubas were the house brand of Custom Music. They are good horns but were not made by B & S as it might appear.
