It's not a clear photo but that tenor looks very like my Pierret "Vibrator" with the underslung octave key, which from the 1930's belonged to a chap called Max Cresswell from Whitley Bay, who played all over the North East, including with Peter Fielding at the Oxford Galleries in the mid-'30's. I've never seen another of these rare saxes in the NE. It doesn't look like a King Super 20 or a Conn Connqueror, both of which had underslung octave keys, but rather different to this.
