Object Details

Description
The colorful and decorated accordion appears on the list of objects transferred from the Dead Letter Office to the Smithsonian Institution in 1911. No additional information is available – no names, addresses, signs of postage, or outer wrappings – thus the reason the musical instrument could not be delivered remains a mystery.
