Some guesses have been made already on this blog.

Piston Eb alto horn made in the Netherlands, Belgium, or France. Or in the US, where everything piston came in all imaginable variants.

That was my first guess too, but it looks just a bit too tall for an Alto - although the pipes are about the right diameter for an Alto - what about a Bb Tenor Horn?

To me the valve slides appear being too short for a Bb tenor instrument.

Most likely an Eb tenor horn as used in brass bands.

I like the dress! Reminds me of one I bought as present for my fiancé that for some reason she will not wear in public :lol:
