Erkki Väisänen has been the first owner of the instrument.
Two years where found inside this accordion. The first is probably the year of manufacture and the second number may have been added, e.g. during a service (1985). However, the date of manufacture seems rather strange for two reasons: 1) Normally, no year can be found in Kukkola’s instruments, as well as 2) the early date of manufacture. In Kouvola, Oy Harmonikka did not start manufacturing the Scandalli model until 1944.
The three treble switches on the accordion have been added afterwards. From the beginning, the accordion had only two switches.
