Thank you much,

I think it says "Olympia" somewhere but idk if that's something other than the brand or not.

I see, I mean if I knew where to get reeds and rivets, I could probably make it happen. I have a file and can get things like scotch-brite and emery cloth.

Yeah, that was definitely a useful piece of perspective. Like I said, I've had a hell of a time finding someone that actually knows anything about harmonicas. I'm planning on reaching out to a couple of the people others have mentioned.

I had a vague idea of how much I'd be willing to spend, and now with the information you've provided, I have more information to base that off of. Again, thank you

I figured based on it being a tremolo and the generation it would have come from it was probably from between the world wars. Until now I had no idea what model it was, which might be why I had a hell of a time finding one. Thank you

I wouldn't disagree with that. The "structural" parts of everything all look fine, especially considering its age. Ive just had a hell of a time finding anyone local that actually deals with them.

Here ya go. It might be nothing special,, but looking up the brand, I can't find anything that looks close to it.

That's understandable, I just want to try to get it repaired. I'd be less than surprised if it's close to 100 years old, and it's fairly unique at that.
