LeMar 12 bass button Accordion circa 40s / 50s marine pearloid? vintage

LEMAR Accordion. Vintage in case. Ruff shape. Partly functional. AS IS

This is a cool vintage accordion, but as far as using it as a player, it is in need of TLC for such. Listed as for parts hence though partial enough to possibly be POOR condition? It will squeeze and play. Some of the keyed notes will stick, but can be pulled up by hand. The bellows are leaking, but not so much that it won't squeeze and play, both key notes and bass notes. I don't know what the finish would be officially called, but I've seen some drums with marine pearl as finish, that looked similar to this. I do not know the country of origin. I'd guess Italy, but because I don't know, I have left that 'where made' section blank.

I know little on these, so do not plan to work on it, or send it anywhere to get worked on. I'm leaving that up to you should you be looking at this. So note this is sold as described, as pictured, as is with no returns. So, that said see the photos and let me know if you got questions. Thanks. Frazier
