Yes.
"MJ Kalashen's|Kaiser|Model|New York|3114"
Mark Kalashen was a Dealer and possibly a Maker from 1895 to 1930.

Possibly. But.... Just judging from the lyre holder backing plate and some of the braces I would lean more toward Bohland & Fuchs.

I've never seen a Cerveny (or a photo of one) with those barrel shaped ferrules.

I'm not so sure that height is such a requirement for being called a "kaiser." The differences between 38" and say, 41" (tall enough for you?) is really pretty negligible. I think it has much more to do with the bore size, and overall diameter of the bows.
And "for parts or not working"... say what? A mislabeled eBay listing? Never!
