Anyone know about Accordions?

[camgear]

My girlfriends dad has asked me to help him value some accordions, but I know sod all about them, and he thinks he has one that is extremely valuable (As the person he bought it off has been asking questions about whether he still has it, etc) and he's worried about getting ripped off.

Does anyone know anything about Accordions, or can recommend an honest shop to get them valued? All I know is that they're both from the 50's, one's a Scandelli that looks like this .

And the other one is a 50's Paolo Soprani 140 bass piano, can only find 140 bass button ones...

Thanks for any help

For the one in the photograph I'll give him some magic beans and a shiny 50 pence piece.











In the meantime just don't tell him it's worth £10,000...

Try asking Mamma.

I heard she's got a squeeze box she wears on her chest.

It's the same model, but that's not a photo of it, I think it might be a Scandalli Super V, the Super VI is worth megabucks, but can't find anything on the Super V (I guessed the name as it has 5 buttons where the VI has 6, and it was made in the same era - Told you I didn't know much about them!)
