The bellows appear to be in good shape.
I guess I should mention the hardshell case. A metal tag inside says “M. Hohner, The World’s Best,” while another metal tag reads, “Design patented Oct. 6, 1881, No. 85280, Other patents pending.” Something tells me it is not the original case, but I could very well be wrong.
It (the case) is not in good condition, but it is hard and strong, which makes it a good first packing box. I wouldn’t put much stock in the case since the handle hangs by one end and the hinges are only partly present. It is, however, shaped like an accordion.
