It was bought from a meth head

Looks fantastic

Plays just fine too

All the reeds work and the bellows is great

Case is a little beat up but still doing its job.
Anyone care to help me identify it better than 'it came from italy'?

Maybe a value? Open to offers.

The label that says made in italy should also have yoir model number

I wonder if the person the meth head stole it from misses it.

Looking at the brand only, it's 150-600 USD with most near 200. I don't know how that relates to specific model, age and wear.

It's a fisheye lens throwing the perspective; I have normal sized toenails with very large toes.

I know enough about meth to know that was either that persons' prized possession or someone else's accordion.

He said it was his deceased grandpa's

They always say that. I've done enough restoration work and resale to hope you adequately documented the transaction.

Yup. There was a songbook with a name on it that corroborates the origin.

I got a receipt as well and verified the gentleman I purchased from was indeed listed as member of remaining family in an obituary listed

Under the name on the songbook. Thanks for pushing me to get some better history on it. I managed to find a band member who wants to tell
