Some people may be able to help you, maybe, but you may have more luck on melodeon.net, which is dedicated to diatonic instruments.
On Accordionists.info by far the majority of people play chromatic instruments (piano accordion or chromatic button accordion).

I agree with the advice to ask on melodeon.net. However, I can tell you that Hohner International was the branding used on the cheap instruments that Hohner bought from other manufacturers and printed their own name on. That box looks like a Hohner Erica, but looks can be deceiving, and I reckon it's either Chinese or East German/Czech - probably Chinese though. It's most likely not a great instrument, but if it works then it would a good way to get into playing diatonic.

Thank you, this helps a lot. I won't buy it and continue my search for a better quality instrument.

Hohner International was a brand of Hohner USA, and they used it on inexpensive models of accordion that were built for them (at various times) by the Czech firm Delicia, Hering in Brazil, and also Chinese makers - the one in the photo being of Chinese manufacture. They were distributed in Europe by Hohner Germany.
