Is this a gem or a doorstop??

We have some evidence, however, that you may have to pay for the reeds.

I know nothing, and want to know nothing about them (I don't need another obsession!), but this looks ever so nifty a find. I can't believe noone has bid on it yet!! I thought that someone here might be very glad to see it.

It's a museum piece Annie. Not likely to attract people whose interest is in playing the things.

Old accordions are not like old violins that appreciate in value. This yoke probably needs a complete overhaul with a lot of new parts and an awful lot of work to make it even playable. And it would probably still smell even then!
