Please help identify vintage

Please see the attached photo of my mother’s accordion. It has to be at least 60+ years old. I was trying to figure out when it was manufactured, but I don’t know where to find the serial number. Or if there is even one. She got it when she was in her 20s living in Austria. She lived to be in her 90s.

Hi Chuck, and welcome!
Let's see :
Sequinned lettering = old.
Severely angled corners = old.
Narrow black keys = old.
Grille pattern = old.
Relatively "short " bellows corners = old.
80 bass, 34 treble keys = likely 3 sets of treble reeds.
Are there any knobby looking brass or chrome metal switches along the back of the treble keyboard?
Was your mother's name by any chance "Aida"? If not, that's possibly the name of the model of the accordion.
How old?
Definitely more than 60 years.
My guess is, it's from the 1930s ( but could even be from the late 1920s).
"Sternberg" may be the maker (or distributor ).
Cosmetic shape is pretty good for age.
One white key has lost its top.
Probably there's a few loose reeds and leather valves rattling around inside of the bellows?
Theoretically, everything is fixable: it only requires (quite a bit of) money and access to a good technician.

Thanks for your comment. That was not my mother’s name. I tried to search the brand name and couldn’t really find anything and I even thought maybe they had been bought out and the name had changed over the years. Many years ago this accordion was involved in a flood and was partially submerged. It’s been stored for years and I thought there would be a lot of dry rotting occurring, but actually the Bellows portion is holding up quite well. I don’t intend to restore it, it’s more for display in my music room and a keepsake. I was just curious about its background, origin and date of manufacture. There are no silver or brass buttons on the side, other than a silver looking strap that snaps and holds the bellows together. Thanks again and take care.
