Here's a vintage 1914 Holton 4v BBb tuba. It has an upright bell and 4 toploader valves. It has a lot of nice engraving on the bell and it is in pretty reasonable shape for a horn this old. Looks like it would be usable just as is and could be improved with polishing of the silver and a valve replate.

Hi, Adam! Current owner/seller here.
Same sentiment here. I really wish I didn't have to sell this horn, but if you (Adam) remember that car that overheated when I came to pick it up from you... That lost me a lot of money. Needless to say, I don't drive it anymore. The only reason I'm selling this instrument is because I can't afford to keep much of anything right now! Matt Walters put a lot more work into fixing the horn than he charged me for. Pretty much all of those major dents are gone. If I could afford to keep it, I definitely would have.
