Below is grandson's Hohner, given to him by his paternal grandfather, who is of German descent.
Hohner is a German company specializing in the manufacture of musical instruments. The company was founded in 1857 by Matthias Hohner (1833-1902). Hohner is identified especially with harmonicas and accordions. The Hohner company has invented and produced many different styles, and most of the harmonicas used by professionals. The company also makes kazoos, recorder flutes, melodicas, banjos, guitars, bass guitars, and ukeleles (under the brand name Lanikai). From the 1940s through 1990s, the company also manufactured various electric/electronic keyboards.~Courtesy of Wikipedia

My idea was to have a place to post 'old things'. Anything old
and/or deteriorating such as, but not limited to, old houses, barns, outbuildings, old cars, rusty things, antiques, interesting junk, or it can be something in pristine condition, but just old.
1. Link to a post featuring photos of something old.
2. Link back to Rubbish by Roan in your post.
3. As time allows, visit other participants and comment on their posts.

That is beautiful! What a wonderful heirloom that is. I have a post in draft about an old accordion my son found for me. I'll have to dig through the files and find it now. :-) Thanks for the linky. Hope you have a great week.
Wow- what a super family heirloom!
How interesting. Never heard of it. Glad you have it in the family to keep.
Roan, my musician nephew plays harmonica with his guitar sometimes. This picture....beautiful instrument, and a treasure.
what a wonderful treasure!
Lovely accordian - the colors are still so bright.
Is he taking lessons? Phil did, and he plays at church now. I will have to see if his accordion is this brand. I have never seen one looking like this, pretty and fancy.
i've never heard of it before but what a wonderful keepsake!

very cool.
A very nice accordion (that was my wish in childhood too)! We here in Germany know Hohner, of course.
Have a great week
That is a beauty!Can he play it?
Beautiful musical instrument with an important family connection. A great memory!
While I appreciate the history, I typically do not appreciate accordion music. :)
How amazing, what a wonderful thing to have. My niece has recently taken up the Bassoon, not quite as unusual as this but still an instrument you rarely hear about.
What a beautiful instrument. it is a work of art in itself.
What a great memory! Many of my family's friends and family played the accordion. Wow, so many fun memories.
What a marvelous family treasure it is! I'm linking with you again, this is beginning to grow on me! LOL
Love the button box! What a lovely treasure to have in your family! A kind elderly gentleman gave my brother one--and my a keyboard accordion to me and each of my sisters, so we learned to play!
Lovely piece!
Sorry I missed the link up. I'll try again next week. - Margy
How cool!
Hope, you are okay now?
Best wishes -
hi.. I am undoubtedly either too late or too soon.. either way I will leave the link on my page so that others may find you here.. Have a great day..
i hope you are ok!
How wonderful and reminds me, I've got my Grandmothers old Hohner mouth organ and need to spend some time learning how to play it.
I hope nothing is wrong in your world...I keep checking and no post. I first assumed you were just really busy, but thought I would post a comment to see.
Wow! Just beautiful!
