Tuba identification help.

Post by Tubaryan12 »

So, I bought a smaller tuba for band stuff and lighter gigs.
Pictures can be seen here:

What is the model, and is there a meaning to the small engraving under the Olds logo?

Olds O-99 3v BBb

If I had to guess, "PS WJ 101" may be a public school inventory engraving.

Thanks for the replies. I figured it was an Olds O-99, but the other engraving had me scratching my head.
