Dear Tim Thirst,

Yes, thanks, look very interesting.  I'm about to go away for a few
days, will reply on my return.

> Boosey & Hawkes Circular Eb Bass (Helicon Sousaphone) Serial 3393,
> Valves 123 made 1865

I am puzzled by this one.  Boosey and Hawkes only got together in 1930,
so it can't be made in 1865.  Or is there a mistake ? Maybe if you could
give more of the inscription I could help you.  The number looks funny
too.
