    Vintage Antique Concertina Accordion Buttonbox Push Accordian 10 key, German made
    I have had this concertina in our family from at least the 30's that I can remember. There were musicians in our ancient family so could have been one of theirs.
    Concertina still works with all keys producing sound both extending the bellows and compressing the bellows.
    There is wear on the piece but that is expected for something close to 100 years old. It has not been played in over 40 years but still
    works fine. Bellows look in good condition, still supple. Leather and cloth straps have separated due to age. Shows wonderful patina. Some separation of the wood veneer
    along one side but not a real issue.
    This was sold by  THos Kosatka & Company out of Chicago. I can't find any history on the company but suspect it was one of
    many musical instrument sellers in Chicago back in the day.
    Even though the concertina works It may be well for parts also.
    Measures 11" x 12" x 6.5" closed
    Selling as an antique and as is.
