Been here for ages!
Welcome MM!
Run a tape over the length of the keyboard
across the outermost edges of the outermost white keys and let's know what that comes to ( in inches).
It looks to be a three voice instrument (Low, middle, middle) with musette tuning, from the late 1950s to early 1960s, made for a student or amateur hobbyist.
That's not to say it's not sturdy and well made or incapable of playing appealing music of most kinds ( in the right hands). It could easily be all that someone could ever require.
Much depends on the condition of the innards which, like the inside of a motor car, tend to deteriorate with age, even if not used.
Accordions such as this are advertised on Facebook, eBay and Gumtree daily for a few hundred dollars and often take months if not years to sell ( check these sites in your locality)

Whether there is any monetary value to this accordion depends entirely on the condition on the inside. This accordion could be worth a few hundred or nothing depending on what's inside (possible mold, rust, curled-up leathers, etc.) A basement is a bad place to store an accordion for a long time. (So is an attic, for different reasons.)
