The numbers in the second photo correspond to my descriptions below. This is all the info I current have on these horns and parts. If there’s a price listed, it’s what my uncle paid for it before he passed away. If you’re interested in any of it, send me a message! I hope to add more info that I can dig up too.
Let me know in advance and I will bring whatever you’d like to pick up to my house outside Cleveland OH. If you want to see EVERYTHING, you’d have to come to Mansfield OH. I *strongly* prefer local sales so you can look it over before buying.

Number 1 sousa body bares a sufficient resemblance to something i been playing on a bit that i'll put a vote of confidence in its potential. Especially if it has a loop underneath directly after the valve set. No idea quite what it is other than perhaps some bizarre amalgamation of Elkhart, Indiana as the knurled valve caps and lay out make me think old buescher? But whadda i know?
