Sousaphone

Model:
Series:
Key:

Bell Diameter: 23″ (59cm)

Some modification on the bell is present.  This would be a very early example of a forward facing bell of a Sousaphone.

The serial number would indicate this instrument is from approx. 1904-1905

The bell also has the following inscriptions:

J.W.C.I.N.Y.
22

– Could this be a reference to J.W.C. York and Company.?
