I’m currently looking to get a new accordion and upgrade from my current one and I came across this recently. It’s a fratelli crosio 120 bass with 11 treble switches and 5 bass switches, also says it’s double tone chambered in the description, but I’m not sure. I’ve tried searching the internet everywhere to find the exact model of the accordion but can’t seem to find anything. I found one that’s close but the description says it’s not original. Could anyone tell me if it’s an original fratelli crosio, the value (if in great condition) and maybe some more information on it? (photos included of the ad and the ad from the non original version of it)

the black one you "found" is not even close

the accordion you are hot about is obviously a professional
model, full size, 4/5 reed chambered box, and likely was a
custom order for the dear departed J. A. whoever that was..

the brand is next to meaningless, the model is meaningless,
because their era of fame was when they had a finishing factory
in France, and made chromatic accordions for the French Market
which this accordion is obviously not from that era

go see it and evaluate it in person.. it is probably worth going
to check it out and if in good condition probably will be a
fine accordion to own and play. Accordions like this are typically
priced from the thousands on up. it has no value other than condition,
which you can only determine with a close inspection inside and
by playing/testing it thoroughly
