Hi Jan and welcome!
Your accordion bears a famous name but is from pre-WWII, so will appeal to a very restricted market, willing to offer relatively little for it.
It may pay you to Google search your locality for any accordion dealers/repairers and sound out their views on the saleability of an accordion of around 90 years of age.
Also, see what prices sellers of similar accordions are asking in your local Facebook and Gumtree pages.
I'm sure there's a buyer out there, but asking price will be a consideration.
You can always advertise on Facebook, Gumtree, the community notice board in your supermarket, your school or church newsletter: someone will love it!

Thanks for trying to help, @Dingo but the Accordion Shop has caught you out with a clever bit of their website. If you search for accordion with the name of any town on the UK they’ll respond as though they are just down the road. The truth is the Accordion Shop ( which I should add is a good place with good people) now had only one shop in the UK, in Sunningdale, which is practically the other end of the country to Newcastle
