by Seychellois Sohne Co., Klingenthal, ca. 1930. The airship era, 1900 - 1937, brought forth many toys and other replicas of lighter - than - air vehicles. The harmonica forms the gondola of the airship, with the casing extending to form the blimp. 4” inches long. It cost me $175

Hope it’s not filled with helium, else you’re going to have a very funny voice after a few draws…
