Pre-War Hohner Preciosa Harmonica New Old Stock! Never Played Key of C -Mint NOS

Description

Pre War Hohner Preciosa - New Old Stock-
-Never Played- Key of C - A Bonafide Time Capsule Discovery!
As pictured. Play tested only to confirm no reeds have gone wonky and nothing more than that.
Found in a Local New Jersey estate original store stock stored for decades after it closed.
The family had a music
store in Newark New Jersey in the early 1900"s when the store closed 50+ years ago the
remaining stock was stored and virtully forgotten.
Some web info regarding the brass reeds used in pre-World War 2 Hohner harmonicas:
"The brass that was used in pre-WWII Hohners, known as bell metal brass,
has been out of production since just prior to WWII. It was a softer,
but stronger brass made by a few small brass factories, all of which
have shut down since that time. There are as many as 500 different
grades of brass, and better than half of them have been out of
production since prior to WWII and no harmonica factory uses the kind of
amounts needed for the companies that are left to make it worth their
while to continue making it, and it's too bad that every harp
manufacturer didn't have the foresight to own their own brass factories,
much like what the Zildjian cymbal company (now has)."
Selling as-is, as described and pictured, since any playing impacts the value.
