Milano Organetto. Made in Germany. It says it has steel reeds. Probably from the 19th century. This has been in my Mom's family in Iowa for many years but only my Grandpa could play a song on it. I've had access to it for 15 years or so, but I couldn't figure out how to play a single tune on it. It has nice sound and seems to be mostly working but seems to leak some air on the left-hand side. I don't know how to play a diatonic, but it seems to me to play a song on this I'd have to be constantly jumping from one key to another. My mom showed it to a repairman in New Ulm years ago and he said it could be repaired to playing condition if you're willing to leave it there and spend money on it.
