Hello everyone. I have this old concertina accordion that I inherited from my grandfather that I am looking to identify and get a value on. I will try and provide as much info as I have on it. My grandfather purchased this accordion in a first attempt to self teach himself the instrument. I believe he played around with it for a year or two but then it was stored away in the attic for decades. This was most likely purchased somewhere in Michigan or Canada, probably between 1970-1990. After looking all over the instrument, the only writing I can find is VARITONE and MADE in ITALY which appears to be etched in by hand. As far as I can tell, there is no writing on the box that it is stored in also. This accordion is absolutely gorgeous with gold and pearl inlays and accents. It is in perfect working condition. There is some old sheet music and music books in the case with the accordion as well.
I can take more pictures and upload them if needed for ID. Thanks everyone again and hope to hear from you accordion enthusiasts soon.
