Russ, that bring's back old memories..
A melodica was my very first contact as a kid with making music, in the late fifties. I can even remember it was green coloured, with black and white keys...
An uncle of mine owned one and let me play(blow) on it .
Never saw one again though in real in all those years...
Since I bought a guitar as a kid (from my newspaper job) I focussed on guitars untill this day...
Thank's for bringing up, Fred
