Identify this Euphonium?

A friend may decide to part with this double-bell euphonium, but the brand name cannot be read because of some ancient repair work. Can anyone tell what make it is?

My guess: a Buescher.

Well... two Bueschers I have owned have had 'straight in' leadpipes as in the second image. I also had a York with the main slide in the leadpipe but it was a top-action.

Just judging from the bell-screw flanges... I think this one is probably a Conn.

Looks to me like a Conn 74I (low pitch) or 75I (high and low pitch) Double Bell New Wonder Small Bore Bell Up Baritone (4 valve)

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
