Hello to all.. What do I have here? One piano type.. and two smaller ones

[disbo]

Greetings to all,

I recently picked these up in a climite controlled storage unit.. Didnt even know they were there.. I was after the military antiques I could see.

Only the bigger one has a model and maker on it EXCELSIOR model 608..

The two smaller ones dont have any keys... Very striking colors

What are they? Is there a site I could find out the age, value, region of the world they came from?

Thanks for any info.

Cheers Disbo

here are some of the red one

The last one is looks similar to the red one, but it too looks very intricately made.

I couldnt find a maker, model number on either one.

thanks D

Looks like you have a starter mid-level Excelsior accordion and a couple of bandoneons. All look to be in really rough shape outside and that points to a lower value based a matching poor condition inside. Cracking open and seeing the shape of the reeds is what is going to define the true value.

IMHO, nothing of any great value, maybe $100-$300 for them all.

It seems you have an older model Excelsior & and two old Cheminitzer's.
Restoring any of these will far outweigh their value. But those older Cheminitzer's will have obsolete parts
that are of value to rebuilders. Try selling them for parts only.

Chemnitzers are still a thing here in Wisconsin. In fine shape these could go $300 +/- $200 based in condition. Where are you located?
