Description
A vintage small-scale diatonic button accordion manufactured by Hero in Shanghai, China. The instrument features a black pearloid celluloid finished body equipped with seven gold-toned metal melody levers and three white plastic bass buttons. The bellows are constructed from patterned paper and card in a combination of green, red, and blue. Markings on the front panel include the brand name Hero in script, a small oval logo containing the word ACCORDION, and the Chinese characters 英雄. Further text to the right reads MADE IN SHANGHAI, CHINA with the characters 中國上海 positioned above. A black hand strap is attached to the side of the casing. The item is accompanied by a portion of a plain cardboard box, possibly the original packaging.
Height: approximately 19 cm.
Condition report:
The instrument is in fair to good vintage condition. The pearloid casing displays light surface scuffing and minor scratches consistent with age. The bellows are intact but show general wear and minor discoloration to the folds. One of the gold-toned melody levers appears to be slightly out of alignment. The hand strap is present. Internal reeds and valves have not been tested for musical accuracy; this item is sold as a decorative or collectible object.
