I see one near me it's a small piano accordion for $80, I haven't heard that name any one know these?
Owner says 80+ yrs. old
I'm not getting another, I'm  just curious.

I'd give that one a miss. It does have a couple of interesting features but you can't save them all, not in the current glut of unrestored cheap piano accordions and paucity of those wanting one to play.

Thanks Paul,
I really was just curious about maker and quality.  My wife supports my MADness but I'd be pushing it if I brought home another without get the one I just pick up fixed first. I can't have junkers laying about,I don't have the room for them or the budget to fix them. I already have a piano accordion sitting here that I don't know what to do with other than practice up tuning the reeds.

I really was just curious about maker ...

Not an actual "make" but badge-engineered by one of the Klingenthal factories, in the mid-1930s.

... and quality. 

Cheap as chips. Notice they very obviously stencilled the name onto it... 

The 1930's equivalent of a cheap Chinese box today.

But - considerably - cheaper.
