I can't find much. I've got the name in a big long list of manufacturers I've compiled, but no details. There is a picture of one over at Musica Viva:

It looks like they might have been accordion manufacturers, which is a pretty common thing for harp companies. The different entries on Musicaviva disagree on the origins. Italian, German, American? Could you post some pics?

"Chromatic,- Harp is identical to the older Koch 10-hole chromatic."Lombardi" could be
named for Johnny Barbalinardo Lombardi (1915 - 2002), an Italian Canadian multicultural
broadcaster who, besides being the lead trumpet for an Ontario big band in the 30's,
excelled in the harmonica.See description at http://www.jimib.com/profiles-johnny.html..
