The Marine Band 1896 is one of the most famous harmonicas ever made.
For well over a century they've been used by blues legends, folk musicians, country performers, train hoppers, campfire singers, and probably at least three mysterious strangers who wandered into town carrying nothing but a harmonica and a story.
Many collectors specifically seek older Marine Band examples because they represent one of the most influential instruments in American music history.
Ethel played exactly three notes.
Fred claimed it sounded wonderful.
Lucy said it sounded like a goose being surprised.
Management has elected not to take sides.
Fortunately, we've included a video so you can judge for yourself.

The Marine Band harmonica was first introduced by Hohner in 1896 and remains one of the most iconic harmonicas ever produced. Countless blues, folk, country, and rock recordings feature Marine Band harmonicas.
If you've ever heard classic American blues, chances are you've heard one of these.
Ethel, Fred, Lucy, and the rest of the flock spend their days rescuing forgotten treasures from attics, estates, garages, barns, and occasionally places where raccoons appear to have been in charge.
This Marine Band survivor has completed its audition and is officially ready for its next performance.
