Whoa, what kind of accordion is that? diatonic and piano accordion hybrid? so dope.

[@StCloudConcertina]

It's a chromatic button accordion with a faux piano keyboard. Pietro Frosini was also known for playing a similar looking "hybrid" chromatic. One of the reasons they designed it (or I should say legends because I wasn't around then to really know) was that the piano accordions were getting more attention. To make chromatics look like piano accordions was a way to combat it. Plus, like you said, it's really cool looking.

Does the main keyboard work or is it just for appearance?

[@AlfHagedal]

The piano keys are purely decorative. In Sweden this particular design was somewhat popular in the early 1930's, and commonly referred to as "Finto". The buttons are configured as on a regular 5-row C-griff system, albeit with only the first three (main) rows present. Kind regards /Alf
