It's currently at $20. That's a great price!
There are two kinds of these harmonicas (the regular one which sold for $1.99 in 1955 and the deluxe which sold for $2.49) I have one of each. They were made in the 50s by Hohner and are great examples of how well harmonicas were made back then.

I had one when I was a kid. Just the harp, no box. I think I got it at a flea market. My midwestern parents had to explain to their east coast boy what a Hoosier was!

I collect Magnus harmonicas. They are the only old stuff cheap enough that I have a chance of actually building a collection. :) :(
