We recently inherited an Excelsior Accordiana model 308. I got his from the bottom of the instrument. I'd like to know if anyone can help with the year and estimated worth. You guys seem to know a ton and was hoping for some help. Thanks in advance.

You have a 60's era 308. It.s a 3/5 reed accordion. I must say it is outstandingly pristine from your photos.
If the inside components are in equal shape you have a winner in this one!! Being still pure white shows
it is very low mileage. The machine made reeds in this one tend to remain in tune for more than a half century.
If I had it in my shop I would price it at $799.00 and not take less than $650.00

Thanks Jim. It really is in beautiful condition. I haven't unlatched it to inspect the inside, at all. Maybe I'll take it to a shop in town as to not take a chance on screwing it up. Appreciate it very much.
