This undated page from an old A. K. Huttl (of Graslitz, Bohmen) catalog showed up on my Facebook feed the other day. The horn is listed (in German) as a "helicon - new model with removable bell."
Have you ever seen one of these? And/or do you have any idea when they were first built? Just curious!
Have you ever seen this Sousaphone?

You might contact the folks at the Markneukirchen Museum (a stone's throw from Kraslice/Graslitz), they were helpful with a couple of datings/identifications for me.Dave Detwiler wrote:This undated page from an old A.
