Help Needed - Pancordion Crucianelli Accordion

[yovwmon]

Howdy Everyone! We recently inherited the pictured Pancordion Crucianelli Accordion and need some help finding information about it. We haven’t find any good online references to run the serial number, hoping the knowledge within this group can help point us in the right direction. Looking for information like, what year is it, how many made, what’s it worth. Thanks so much!

That's a good quality accordion but it needs a bit of work. (One key is sticking up so that needs to be leveled again. Bellows tape is worn on the bottom, so that needs to be replaced.) It's likely from the late 60's or early 70's, not too long before the Crucianelli factory in Castelfidardo burned down. The treble grille is mostly closed giving the accordion a bit more mellow sound.

Thanks Debra, what would you say this is worth in its current condition? My wife played as a child but at this juncture we would likely opt to sell it to someone that would appreciate and use it for its intended purpose.
