One evening in a cabaret, somewhere in the 1930s… A musician pulls from his pocket this silver-toned harmonica, nestled in its black box marked Seductora in golden letters. This is exactly the object you hold in your hands. This M. Hohner Seductora model harmonica is preserved in its original box, a black cardboard case decorated with golden letters, featuring a colorful illustration inside depicting a dancer in a cabaret style typical of the interwar period. The harmonica itself bears the markings:
M. Hohner – Germany engraved on the cover plate
Engraved international exhibition medals (Grand Prix Paris, etc.), testifying to the prestige of the Hohner brand at the time
Engraved decoration "Seductora" with floral scrolls on the front face
M. Hohner, founded in 1857 in Trossingen, Germany, is the most famous harmonica manufacturer in the world. Its instruments were exported worldwide and prized by professional musicians and amateurs alike.
