Need help regarding E. Tombolini Accordian

[kcdec1977]

Good day! New to the forum, and when searching, I can’t seem to find anything regarding E. Tombolini accordions made in Italy. It is 120 bass, mother of pearl piano keys, four button, and the interior of the case is a beautiful shade of blue and plush. Does anyone have info on this type of piece? I would love to learn more about it. Thanks in advance.

My teacher, Charles Nunzio, told me that my accordion (one of many that he had marketed under the name "Nunziola") was made by Tombalini. I remember overhearing him speaking on the phone with Mr. Tombalini in Italian. When he finished his conversation he told me that he was speaking with Mr. Tombalini and he said "He made your accordion". I don't know much more about Tombalini.

Cannot help much here, except that I found the E stands for Emilio and he started making accordions in 1945.

Thanks everyone for the information. Does anyone have an idea of what it might be worth, if anything?

As always, it's impossible to guess what an accordion may be worth without a good look at what's *inside*.
