Looks like a Hohner Tremolo harp. Have you tried playing it? It's probably a bit later and an unexpensive model. Does it say made in germany/allemagne or west germany? I e is it pre or post war? Or even later? I'm not familiar with that model but I have got an beautiful (if somewhat worn) pre-war Echo-Luxe with double-sided mouthpice in the key of C/G. It has a nice sound.
I don't think they're worth anything except of its playability. I'm just guessing here, mind...

It's one of a variety of painted tremelo harps Hohner has introduced over the years. I bet David Payne has one. I have of number of tremelos, but not this one. If I had to guess, I'd date it in the thirties.
Not sure about Sunny Boy Bozo, maybe Mojo Bozo.

I've never owned one, but I have seen a few of them over the years and some were tremelo, some were octave harps and some were regular 10 hole diatonics as well. Charlie Musselwhite had mentioned in an interview back in the 70's that he had owned a 10 hole diatonic version of this that held up for many many years.

There's a gentleman who hangs out in the Harmonica Collectors Club on Facebook. His name is Doug Dawson. He is a Pastor and he loves these enameled harmonicas. I am confident that he can tell you all about it. I would suggest you message him directly on Facebook or just post the same question you posted here on the Facebook Group. I would be willing to bet Doug will be the first on to comment. He will tell you all about it and how he has seven of them in different colors, etc. etc.
