ANTIQUE GERMAN MADE M. HOHNER ACCORDION.
BLACK FOREST WOOD, PADDED, HEAVY FELT LINED CARRYING CASE, WITH LOCK AND KEY.
CLOSED INSTRUMENT MEASURES 12" HIGH, 10" WIDE, INCLUDING HANDLES, AND 7" DEEP. BOX IS 13X13X8.
EACH METAL CORNER STRAP IS STAMPED: "IMPERIAL ACCORDION," WITH TWO ANCHORS TRADEMARK.
ONE METAL LATCH HAS TWO ARMS AND HANDS HOLDING A DISK IN THE CENTER, WITH THE WORDS "GESETZLICH" AND "GESCHUZT"
STAMPED INSIDE THE CIRCLE. DATES STAMPED ARE 1871, 1873 1881. ANOTHER CIRCLE WITH "ULM" STAMPED IN IT.
THE OTHER METAL LATCH HAS STAMPED: "MADE IN GERMANY," A PORTRAIT OF M. HOHNER, THE WORD "MARINE" FOLLOWED BY "D-N"
THE NAME "M.HOHNER" IN SCRIPT, AND "USA PATENT 1907.
THE INSTRUMENT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, EVERY VALVE WORKS AND IT SOUNDS GREAT. NO UNSIGHTLY SCRATCHES, CHIPS OR NICKS.
IT WAS OBVIOUSLY PLAYED A LOT, BECAUSE THE BRASS ON THE ENDS OF THE BUTTONS IS WORN, WITH ONE HAVING BEEN WORN THROUGH
AND A METAL SCREW HEAD INSERTED AS A FILLER. OTHER THAN THE WEAR ON THE BUTTONS, I CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE INSTRUMENT.
HE WOODEN BOX IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT. THE LOCK WORKS, AND WE HAVE THE KEY, BUT THE METAL PLATE
ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE LOCK IS MISSING.
As always, our auction starts at $.99, with NO reserve.
