Greetings,

My name is Jason Denman a few years ago I was going through my Grandmothers property after her death and found an interesting item. I so far have had no luck finding information about it. Her husband was a WWII veteran I do not know if he brought it back from overseas or found it at an auction of some sort (he was always going to actions). I would like any assistance that you would be able to offer and I have attached pictures of the item. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction on how to obtain information. Thanks in advance for your help.

Jason Denman

There was or is a German company name Galotta that made accordions so you could check there cause that looks to me to maybe be an accordion.
