Albany, NY (FB): New York Musical Inst. Co. Eb (1915?)
I actually have the body of one of these tubas that was converted to an F tuba (notice the really long leadpipe). It played really nice as an F, but it needed a better valveset so it's in pieces in my barn. It looks like a Lyon & Healy stencil, but wasn't L&H a stencil company anyway? Maybe European?

Lyon & Healy certainly imported a lot of instruments but also produced some of their own stuff.
Some old Yorks, Martins, and perhaps a King rotary valved CC

I wasn't looking to closely myself, but it reminded me of other Conn made stencils i have known and liked. I got a mouthpiece or two that works pretty good with these, and if the strap loops are where i they are on others, a comfortable busking horn. Band director may complain you're not loud enough to balance a whole concert band, and they're probably right, but still they are fun to play.
And who else will have a "New York Instrument Co." tuba?
