Anyone know anything about barcoarole models?

[Luke1997]

been holding onto a barcarole for a while and can’t find any information on it? Dark blue marble colour with 22 keys. Big barcarole logo on the top. Looks pretty old.

Anyone know year/value?

Cute!
There are various Barcarole branded accordions (both PA and CBA) ranging in age from the 1930s to the 1950s listed on eBay. Yours I imagine is from the 1950s.
The suggestion in the listings is they are made in Germany.

It's not exactly a toy:

Once again, where there's a will, there's a way!

Yeah, it’s good fun. Are they hard to come by? I struggle to find this exact one on eBay very often

Barcarole were Soviet rubbish accordions, close relative of the old Weltmeister.
Definitely not worth getting.

I can say "DITTO" to Paul's comment.
These old Soviet block 12 bass accordions where of poor parts & construction to begin with.
Most all of these old Soviet 12 basses have found their way to the landfill. Refubishing or parts
replacement on this one will outweigh this boxes value.
