One should try to find a model that is similar to the model in question: ie. Hohner MarineBand Key of C should be significantly close in price (if not the same) to that of a Hohner MarineBand Key of D, etc... Generally the model type and key are stamped on the metal of the harmonica. A good place to do a price check are internet musical catologs such as Muscian's Friend.

Research has suggested that the Hohner Harmonica was first made by hand in 1857 and a total of 650 were made in the first year. In the 1920's Hohner began manufacturing harmonicas that could be played in any key.

The value of a 1873 Hohner harmonica can vary significantly based on its condition, rarity, and model. Generally, vintage Hohner harmonicas can range from $50 to several hundred dollars, with rare models or those in excellent condition potentially fetching higher prices. Collectors often seek out specific models, so consulting a harmonica expert or checking recent auction results can provide a more accurate valuation.
