Is that a BBb horn? Looks like a lot of branches for an Eb, but that third valve length makes me wonder. Small bell too, but definitely a lower price than I was expecting.

This Huttl "Master Deluxe" is listed on horn-u-copia as key of F:

This one appears to have a longer small end of the bugle, running along the upper bow rather than behind the pistons, I'd guess because it's Eb.

The art style reminds me of Kim Possible?

But looking it up, they're pa was a music instrument person?

Not impossible then that there exists a connection, although i am too lazy to connect the dots. Their pa apparently was into harmonicas, petering out to pitch pipes as far as i went.

From the other end... brasshistory.net has this:

"Christian Kratt (1899-1982) was born in Trossingen, Germany and emigrated to New York in 1926 as a clerk. By 1934 he was a musical instrument importer living in Brooklyn and by 1940 was located in Union, NJ, running his own importing business. He lived there until his death. (census & immigration records)"

New Jersey is almost small enough to believe that two Kratt music companies are the same? Maybe the Kratt Brother was named after his grandpa?

That is definitely a boatload of speculation.

Anyway, my odometer just rolled over. Time for met call it a night.

Been pleased with my limited experience with Kratt instruments, though too lazy to dredge up much exceptional praise tonight.
