Most likely handcrafted by Danish manufacturer around 1860. 2 rows with 4 "bass spoons". The upper and the lower pair of “bass spoons” are working together horizontally - fifth and fourth finger playing the lower pair (5 / bass & 4 / chord) - third and second finger playing the upper pair (3 / bass & 2 / chord), i.e. different than today’s diatonic instruments which have the basses placed vertically together.
Rikard Ekholm repaired and owned the instrument for many years. In fact the instrument is still intact and functioning today. Rikard Ekholm gave Lars Dyremose the accordion as a birthday present on March 1, 1982.
The instrument is one of Denmark's oldest accordions.
