We just acquired this accordion, know very little about these but will tell you the good and the bad that we can see. Appears to be made of a red plastic swirl material, measures approx. 20.5" x 17" x 8" high when laying down, keyboard is approx. 19" long, is inscribed underneath 239/39 Made in Italy. Has a musty smell like from being in a damp area when we tried playing it, the bellows look good from the best we can tell, did not see any holes, does put out some nice sounds when played though the little black round keys in back do appear to be sticking at times. On the front it has 24 white keys, 17 black ones and 3 large white buttons. In rear it has 120 of the small round black buttons, think they are bass keys. There is no carrying case and only the one strap as pictured. Shows a small amount of corrosion on a few tiny metal pieces. Though this instrument does appear to be intact sure a collector will know how to fix the problems we have mentioned. It's being offered in as found condition, all sales final with NO RESERVE like a true auction should be. S&H is $35.00 to the lower 48 USA via UPS. Check or money order is due with in 7 days of auction end.
