The pictures are showing up now. This looks like a very typical Eb tuba from the late 19th through early 20th century. I have Eb tubas from 3 different makers that look almost identical. It actually looks in pretty good shape. You can tell that it is missing one strap holder on the back and the lyre holder in the front from the solder marks left from where they were. These are totally irrelevant issues. What really matters in playability is if it is airtight at all joints and if the valves seal well. Your repair-person should be able to tell you those are. Good Luck.
