As I recall, you've got something like a Chemnitzer. I'm not sure their reeds are the same as accordion reeds, though I expect they're more similar to accordion reeds than to the reeds in an English-style concertina.

 

You sound like you're trying to determine a date of manufacture for your instrument based on the presence of a microphone in it. But are you sure the instrument was made with a microphone? I would tend to suspect that the microphone was added later.

Many post-WW2 Chemnitzers use accordion reeds - it's the counterpart of our midrange/hybrid concertinas. And I think it's quite possible that some of them were built with internal mics.

It seems, from the greenbulletmics.com website, that the Shure Brothers microphone in question wasn't made before the 1970s.
