My F-i-L left one to us when died, and a guitar student inherited his grandfather's and gave it to me.
Eventually, I pursued selling them because even if I wanted an accordion sound, I've got keyboards to do that.
A little internet research suggested these thing were worth almost a grand, each.
But, an expert looked at them and found reed rot. The wood to which they're attached rotted.
It was only 3 notes on the button instrument & 2 keys, one bass note, and one of the notes shared by the chord buttons.
So, they were >95% functional, but worth nothing! A reed block replacement is really expensive, so nobody would pay for them then put eight or nine hundred dollars into.
So, I had the family limit, but now I have none.
