I’m going with “I don’t know what this is” that’s why I posted here so pro’s can figure it out :D
Form picture I can see that engraving has “Styriaton” in it. From search I found this:
“A globe showing the Americas and part of another continent, with "CONN®" at the top, and "INTERNATIONAL" around the lower portion of the globe. Instruments labeled Styriaton have "STYRIATON" at the top with "CONN INTERNATIONAL" around the globe base.
Used on imported Conn instruments (usually trumpets, and some cornets and saxophones) from the 1990s until about 2007.”

Per seller it’s BBb and he provided more information:
Bell 14 inches, bore size 18.8mm
37 inches tall
On rotary valve cluster
201061
One of the rotary valves marked “KK”
Around 20 years old.

So what maker/model is this?

Cerveny would be my guess, from the round backplate on the thumb ring.
Principal tuba, Bel Air Community Band
Old (early 1900s?) Alexander BBb proto-163
1976 Sonora (B&S 101) 4-rotor BBb
1964 Conn 20J/21J BBb (one body, both bells)
1970s Marzan Slant-rotor BBb
~1904 York 3P BBb Helicon
Old Alex Comp.F, in shop

Others will go their own ways.

Thank you for all advice. Looking at these responses it does look like Cerveny Eb. Same bell size, bore is pretty close, location of first tuning slide and brace from third valve tubing to main tuning slide.
