Maybe a very old Buffet?

Finally picked this baby up, won at a local auction.

Notice, no "Crampon" or "Auguste" in the logo. Fill me in on what this can be.

The instrument is in fantastic condition, the wood is amazingly dense and tight, no issues just needs an overhaul.

The downside is its missing the original barrel and bell. I've got a ton of donor bells, but in this case the bore size is quite small at .570" and I don't have a single barrel that size, and I checked all 50 or so here. I don't plan on keeping the instrument or I would just have one made by someone.

Seems to be Bb LP but who can say without playing it.

I'd love to know more, I'm not sure what to do with it, I mostly work on Alberts but this one seemed so interesting that I had to bid! I may just Ebay it but who knows.
