A little history on this piece:

This is a working antique Czech heligonka (folk accordion) made by Josef Hlaváček in Louny, Bohemia, dating to the late 1800s–very early 1900s. It’s pre-1918, back when Bohemia was still its own kingdom — which you can see right on the original maker’s badge. That’s how we know it predates WWI.

These weren’t decorative instruments. They were made for real life — village dances, weddings, taverns, outdoor festivals. Loud spaces, no amplification. The heligonka style is known for its deep, punchy bass that could carry a room and keep people moving.

It’s solid wood, leather bellows, hand-fitted metal hardware — built to be used, not babied. A lot of these didn’t survive a century of hard playing, which makes intact, working examples harder to find now.

This one works and still has its metal transport box, which is often long gone after 100+ years. The strap is broken (very common at this age and easily repairable), but otherwise it shows honest wear from a long life of actual use.

This kind of piece appeals to:
• folk musicians
• collectors of European instruments
• people who appreciate objects with real cultural history

Do we have any marble aficionados in the group? I just sourced a huge jar of antique ones and this one has me confused. Maybe it’s a Bennington-style glazed clay marble, made in the late 1800s to early 1900s?
Anyways…. Soon to be seen at the antiques booth inside Journey through Time Antique Emporium !!
