This one cheats my eyes, possibly because my own period 3+1P Class A sample is about 6" taller.

This old Class B Besson has 3 valves, and it has the architechture of a BBb tuba, only I see no way finding enough tubing for that pitch. My own take is that it is a very compact Eb.

And I am not a a bidder on this one.

looks similar to a tuba for sale at Dillon's. Besson Eb. with that "reverse" wrap style.

Guessing, from what the seller has provided, this is an Eb in the BBb wrap, and therefor shorter. The 2nd valve looks too long to be a Bb baritone, yet not long enough to be a BBb.

If the valves are tight and the pitch is brought down to A=440, the concept of these old Eb tubas is fine for a beginning tubist.
