First of all, thanks for allowing me to join your group.
I recently acquired this at an estate sale and to be honest, I can’t seem to find any info on it. I love unique instruments (within reason and budget) and couldn’t pass on this. I’ll basically allow the pics to describe it better than I can. It’s branded as a Baldoni, made in Italy. It works great. Has an air pump that you plug in and is triggered by a foot pedal. The top part comes apart from base and it has 2 cases you store it in. It appears to be well made.
The picture of the emblem is what’s on the case it’s stored in.
Anyway, whatever info anyone might have on it, thanks in advance and I do appreciate all your expertise and knowledge.

It seems to me to be a variety of " chord organ " of which there are several makers. This one is rather elaborate.
Here's an example by another maker:

Here's another by Baldoni, they call it the "mini accord keytar accordion."

They also made a variety of accordions, including this one:

I saw one like that in the accordion museum in Castelfidardo. It did not have the second piano keyboard though.
