Interesting piece.

I have encountered several International/Lira "Centromatic" Super accordions, but never one with tone chambers. What is the model number?

I’m not sure there is no number on it, I bought 2 for 200 Andr his was one of them I paid 100 for it 8 years age but it was from the original owner” s son he had no knowledge after his dad died, but it has binci reeds
 
Welcome Cristefer! Very nice. I have that Lira non chamber version. It’s very nice as well but less feature rich. Too big for festivals, etc. but nice design and sound.

Possible, I think yours seems stellar. I would love to check it out, experience the cassotto versus non, unfortunately I’m on the other side of the big pond…..

Which big pond would that be Tom?.
Aren't you both in the USA?
 
All Lira accordion models were of excellent construction.
Pic's of the inside will help to value it. It should have hand made reeds with
the name Lira stamped on them.
 
Ok I found some stamping on the reeds, so this is what it looks on inside
