King tuba, model 1231, BBb. Great school band horn. (I was actually issued one of these in the Marine Corps!) Typically sell for $600 to $1,000. Would probably be playable with less than a hundred bucks worth of repair/tune up. Parts are readily available. Usually see them with recording bells, the upright bell increases the value somewhat. I've bought and sold a bunch of these over the past few years, they are generally solid tubas with a good sound and solid intonation.
I'm not the seller on this one, my new ID there is 5valvetuba6stringbass.
Have fun!
