Stopped by a local music store today to pick up some supplies, and got to look at this tuba that they were given today. There is nothing engraved/stamped on any part of the tuba except for the serial number; 173355. Shockingly it's pitched in BBb. The valve section has similarities to those of a King tuba (maybe an old 1240?), mainly in the valve section, but I'm sure the experts will know more than I do.

Re: Identify this tuba
Looks like a Conn, to me, and its MTS has been lengthened.
What's so shocking about a 3-valve, detachable-bell tuba being in BB flat?

Conn serial number would place it at 1920. http://www.horn-u-copia.net/serial/Connlist.html" target="_blank
