"Genuine Piano Action, Italian Model, Steel Bronze Reeds"

[AccordionUprising]

I saw this old piano-box on ebay and am quite curious to know more. Anybody guess how old it is? 1900-1910?
Its smaller than the early piano accordions Ive seen, and I love the markings.
Genuine Piano Action, Italian Model, Steel Bronze Reeds.
I know this adds up to an interesting history. Who made it? Where was it sold? (UK/English market?) Who were they marketing these little piano models to?
Also, its so cute!

I'd like to know more too. I have one of these, rather my wife does. It's almost exactly the same size as the Hohner pokerwork melodion it is sitting next to on the shelf. Unplayable raspy little thing it is, but charming. Maybe marketed for children?
