Good laugh on Ebay

Thought you'd all get a kick out ot the description of this box on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/L-MILLER-S-F-CAL-Antique-1900s-ACCORDION-ACCORDIAN-NR_W0QQitemZ7378579558QQcategoryZ16218QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

No wonder he's retiring. He must be OLD!

Re: Re: Good laugh on Ebay

hahah, that was good.

Re: Re: Re: Good laugh on Ebay

Dang! Larry looks good for his age, no?

Judging by the eBay blurb, he'd have to be
what .. 126 years old by now? :-)

I always knew that playing Cajun music keeps you young!

The box actually has some nice woodwork on it. I love that burl faceplate on the bass side.

I wonder if bellows could be found for this thing? I also wonder what those little metal plates are on each end of the treble side?

Looks like one of the bass buttons is sticking up too high.

No wonder Larry's retiring this year!!!

That faceplate looks exactly like one I have on an old hohner two row my great grandfather found somewhere.
