Hohner-HARMONICA-ECHO-BELL-METAL-REEDS-MADE-IN-GERMANY- C cord.
Harmonicas like this sell $5.00 to $50.00. you didn't mention if you had the box. looking at your photo I see what looks like rust? 1930s I think. I think all the worth in this harmonica is for family keepsake. I would'nt clean it, I would get a nice shadow box frame, and family photo as background and hang it on your wall and pass it down.
Re: Echo Bell Reed
Thank you for your help. I don't have the box it came in. Yes, it does have rust on it. I wasn't sure if I should have it cleaned and restored. It was my Granddad's and I love your idea of having it put in a shadowbox frame.
