Seems to me exactly who is making what and who owns what names gets a little more blurry every day!
Anyone know the the 'poop' on this thing?

Looks like a bit like a 60's Couesnon.

Does anyone actually own the York trademark?

At some point Schreiber & Keilwerth acquired the York name. For a while they manufactured very high quality cornets (I had a York Eminence cornet) and other instruments under the York name at their factory in Germany (Besson cornets were also manufactured at that location). Schreiber & Keilwerth is now called W. Schreiber and is part of the Buffet Group.
I would assume that Buffet owns the name but it appears to be unused at this time.

The Schreiber & Keilwerth York instruments were made between 2006 and 2010 as far as I know..
