Hohner

I just was given a Hohner accordion.  If I can get it identified I would like to locate an owners manual and other literature for this model to help me learn how to play it and see if it’s worth anything or just a sentimental instrument.

There is a serial number of 196449 stamped on mine.

I have attached a few photos of one I found on-line, identical to the one I have, with four differences.

mine has 80 buttons (5 rows of 16)

Mine has fewer keys (20 white and 14 black)

Mine has a roman numeral III

Hohner

There is a palm control along the length of the keys.  The one in this picture appears to slide up and down where as mine is just a bar that pushes in and I think rotates a number on the top of the accordion above the keys (near your chin).

The one in the attached pic’s is identical in looks in every other way to the one I have.

Can you please help me or direct me to someone who can?
