I have no idea how 3 reeds in the treble side can support both Violin and Organ register switches (or some of the other switches in Last time I checked, the Violin register is the two MM reeds, and Organ is LH reeds. Which means that it'd need 4 reed blocks to accomplish this. I'm presuming it's a LMH accordion since there's the inclusion of the piccolo register switch.

This one is one of the Mail Order specials that sold in the US in the 50's & 60's. There where a few mail order dealers that ordered
Italian student model accordions that were actually (2nd's) and made with parts from discontinued models. They bought them cheap
and sold them for what they claimed were wholesale prices. These Gems showed up with shift machines and shifts that were in many
cases mislabled. Many had shifts that were doubled and in many cases just the improper names. The brand names varied to sound
like a popular brand. Some of the names were comical as this "Superette". These mail order boxes were orphan's from the start and
had no legitimate dealer for backup.

maybe they are calling Violin to m and H?

Jim, I love little accordion history tidbits like this.

Isn't M+H reserved for the "Oboe" setting?

What i mean they are labeling a register as 'violin', and this accordion is LMH...

Oh, sorry - I misunderstood.

 

[ArtMustel]

it's ok IHAccordion, I was only making a guess here.

I'd guess the violin is the 'M' setting - what would normally be called 'Clarinet.' The names are otherwise standard. Definitely an LMH.
