I hunted an older park and came across what turned out to be an older harmonica. The reeds were still intact (10 of them I think) and I was able to clean up some of the cover to get some of the words legible. I can see "Made in Saxony" and "..ROCOCO HARP" and then "TIP-TOP" underneath that label. The back has some more on it but all I can read is the word "Reeds". It has been a few weeks and I haven't been able to find any websites that have been helpful in identifying the maker of this piece. Anyone here know of good resources I can use?

I'll post some photos of the harmonica here in case anyone has any info-

Thanks for looking! :)

Did you try it to see if it still played LOL. Rust bucket blues harp for sure. I'm surprised to see someone find one almost intact. Usually you only find the reed/s. You'd look good playing that thing what with those shades and all.
