4 - Henry Pourcelle baritone, valves move easily

6 - cool looking baritone with valves that move easily, lots of filigree designs, but don’t know the maker (sincerely appreciate any help IDing!), appears that one slide is missing a tube
7 - Jan Stary Budejovicich rotary valve tuba(?) missing linkage screws, valves move easily
8 - Meister Gerhard Schneider made in German Democratic Republic tuba, rotary valves move easily, dents galore, leadpipe appears to be a bit smushed, bell has a bit of a bend, missing slides that *might* be around here, can’t guarantee it though

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.
Descriptions include number in second photo, then any company name or markings, then my notes, then the price my uncle paid for it last year:
1 - King 2340 - EDIT: found the bell and it’s now shown in the last photo, valves need grease, just a bit of green corrosion, with bell $400
SOLD 2 - King 2341, valves move freely no corrosion but need grease — EDIT: pretty sure I found the bell and it’s in the last photo $750 EDIT: this tuba has been sold
3 - EDIT: Miraphone 183 Eb, .685" 17.40mm) ~146" receiver to bell, missing valves and some slides (probably around here somewhere), EDIT: found paddles/linkages $300
4 - King, missing valves and one slide
5 - “concertant hors concours paris JTL 1878 1889 1900 JEROME THIBOUVILLE-LAMY” valves move freely
6 - Conn 14k
7 - King 2340, missing valves
8 - cerveny bell cut to remove crumpled outer bit, he was probably going to reconstruct it, EDIT: think I just found the outer part of the bell he was going to attach it to and it’s in the last photo
9 - caravelle bell
10 - King 1140 - $450
11 - “Martin handcraft Elkhart Indiana” euphonium? bell
12 - his notes “Conn BBb 28J? 405063 1952 #10-1/2 .735" 20" bell” $100
Last photo - Yamaha bell, $300?

I did have a less than positive interaction with him, but plenty of deals to be made.

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?
