This instrument dates back to the 1940's. My late father bought this and played on New Years eves with it in a place called Meiringspoort in the Little Karoo , South Africa on dances. At the time the road through this place was still a dirt road with gates on strategic points. As long as I can remember this road is tarred. I was born in 1957 and this occurred before my birth. I would like to know the value of it. Can anybody help?

It's definately Frontalini. The broken name plate has the same font as is used in Frontalini accordions. I compared your picture with another picture of Frontalini accordion. Hi!
