To make a brand of accordion in "the old days" required a community effort. These hand-crafted accordions could never be replicated for what you have spent. In the first half of the 20th century and before, accordions were mostly hand-made, and a stupendous variety of models and brand-names were produced. The old accordion that you now possess is unique in important ways. If you paid a nominal sum for this incredible find, you probably did not make a really really bad deal.
