Re: it might look good on your mantel

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.

Re: Re: it might look good on your mantel

it was cheaply made even when new

don;t pay any more than you want to spend
for a wall-hanger

as far as that 'sterling', it may have been
totally unrelated to the ones the old
cajuns played

You may be right, Larry - I'd love to know more pre-war accordion history.

I have an existential question:

JB, when you look in the mirror, do you see BJ?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: it might look good on your mantel

We're the same person, but dyslecksick. And we don't know if we're coming or going.

Re: Re: Re: Re: it might look good on your mantel

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

That sounds plausable ( more than some accordions do )
