Cool for the plaque alone. Looks like an Eb missing the main tuning slide.

Re: Wagner & Levian Tuba with Mexican Plaque
30" tall and 13" bell would be pretty big on a euph, and the tuning slides for the valves seem too long to be a euph. My Besson Eb is about 30" tall, FWIW.
Compare the valve tuning slide lengths in the etsy post:

to the ones on this old York baritone:

Of course, it's kind of a moot point since the instrument's in slightly $#!&$y condition and it seems destined for wall art.
