I picked up a very old Eagle brand in the key of F for $20. It has two stops, one of which is for show only - doesn't do anything. I agree with David, they make great mantle pieces. A piece of history.

most of what i have seen has been
cheap mass-produced junk, not much
better than toys
at least the one- and two-reed models
they kind of remind me of the current
chinese accordions - they can have
many 'brands' but they all look surprisingly
similar
probably they just used 'sterling' by accident,
not knowing there was a decent
brand of the same name, then quit when
they got sued, or just changed to a new
name the next year anyway so no one
would realize that this year;s junk
was the same aas last year;s junk
