Unusual Accordion from Columbia MFG CO NY

This is a very interesting and colorful accordion. We have very little information on this Piano style accordion other than the inscription which says, Recina and COLUMBIA MFG CO NY.

The owner wrote me the following email:
My husbands parents were accordion teachers and well known throughout the accordion family. Unfortunately they have both passed away. When my mother in law passed she asked that we keep her and her husbands accordion and donate one to AA with all others to be sold. This final accordion we cannot seem to find any information on. Im going to enclose some pictures of it and maybe someone can help us. It still plays

Ancona Accordion up for Identification

The owner of this Ancona Accordion writes:

I was given an Ancona Accordion by Soprani made in Italy by my step father, whose ancestors came from Italy.  I was doing research on the history of the accordian and I found a photo of one exactly like the one I own.  The one in the picture is in far worst shape than the one I own.  The keys, bellows and leather straps are are in good condition on the one I have.  The accordion has a good sound.  I am curious about the age of the accordian, and any other information you may be able to give me. The information and photo comes from the following website:  http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions/Ancona-Accordion-by-Soprani-made-in-Italy-9243182.html
