Button Accordion

The item is a button accordion, housed within its open carrying case. The accordion itself features a striking dark red, marbled or pearlescent finish on its main body, suggesting a celluloid or similar plastic veneer over wood. The instrument appears rectangular in shape, typical of many accordions. On the upper surface, seven white button-like keys are visible, likely part of the treble side keyboard. The bass side, partially obscured, shows an array of white round buttons set against a dark green or black panel, consistent with a diatonic or chromatic button accordion configuration. The bellows are not fully visible but appear to be black. The grille on the treble side is predominantly white with horizontal and vertical bars forming a grid pattern, and in its center, there's a distinctive gold-colored emblem or badge, possibly indicating the manufacturer or model. The overall condition from the visible areas seems fair to good, with no obvious major damage, although minor scuffs or wear consistent with age and use might be present on closer inspection. The case itself is a practical, utilitarian piece, black on the exterior with metallic latches and a handle, lined with a light brown fabric featuring a repeating textured pattern. The style of the accordion, particularly the marbled finish and button configuration, suggests it could be from the mid-20th century. The craftsmanship appears solid, as expected for a musical instrument designed for performance and durability.
