Many Silvertone guitars, for example, were made by Harmony, although I have an awesome Kay Silvertone Jimmy Reed style electric (actually the Kay model name is "Thin Twin") made in the mid-1950s and with a logo identical to your concertina.
Even Sears'; "Best" instruments were never the highest quality, craftsman-made type that have appreciated the most in the "vintage" market, but the catalog with its pages of shiny instrument "pinups" must have encouraged millions of kids to dream about making music.
And even today there are "deals" in as-is instruments, when the buyer for some reason values the instrument much more than the seller realizes, or the seller is forced by circumstances to sell at what he knows is a bad price.

The early Korean-made instruments were not as good as the Japanese ones, but it did not take nearly as long for Korean quality to improve as it did for the Japanese to go from making crude low-end models to sophisticated instruments suitable for professional use.
While some Japanese instruments have come to be viewed as quite desirable and collectible, I have seen little evidence of such activity with respect to Korean instruments, but the fact remains that the better-quality Korean guitars are remarkably good and most certainly are suitable for use on stage or in the studio.

The value of wind instruments is determined by who made the instrument, by condition, age, whether the case and mouthpiece are original, and by how much the original finish has been worn.
Instruments that have sustained repairs, have worn valves or keywork, or have replacement cases always have a lower value.

 Magnetic Recording Equipment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This instrument, which was designed primarily as a dictating machine, used 0.01-inch carbon-steel wire as the recording medium, and this wire was propelled by a nonconstant-speed drive with a minimum velocity of about 7 feet per sec.
Level winding is accomplished in this instrument by moving the head up and down on its shaft by means of a heart-shaped cam in the drive system, the movement of the head serving to distribute the wire evenly on the take-up reel.
The primary impetus to develop this instrument came from transportation companies who desired to supply their patrons with music as a means of lightening the tedium of the journey.
