According to the Langwill Index the Buescher company was in existence in Indiana until 1950. Starting in 1904, Buescher instruments were stamped 'Buescher Band Instrument Co.' and in 1916 they sold out to 5 Elkhart businessmen with Mr. B remaining as a manager [if not THE manager] and then an engineer. In 1928, 'Elkhart Band Instrument Co.' succeeded as Buescher's proprietors and had a trade name, 'True-Tone', which competed successfully with Conn's line of instruments. Buescher shared parts and designs with Conn although their rivalry was a well-known scandal in the industry.
Does the flute have drawn-rolled or drawn (not rolled) toneholes?
