Winslow's absolutely correct, as usual. Since the single photo was blurry  
when enlarged, I wrote to the Seller to ask (nicely) if he had checked any  
literature or even the box (besides the harmonica itself) for the Hohner 
name  and just got this response:
 
"Thank You so much for your question. Just had a chance to review the  
harmonica and the case and it DOES NOT indicate a Hohner model. I will correct  
it on the listing and post this response. It was part of a Hohner collection 
we  inherited and we assumed it was a Hohner also. Thanks again for 
bringing it to  our attention. The case has a Made in China stamp on the bottom, 
too."

I'm skeptical of the eBay  seller's claim. This doesn't look like a Hohner 
product. It looks like some  Chinese harps I've seen. Perhaps the original 
poster could verify whether the  harmonica he saw bore any Hohner markings. 
It's unlike Hohner to market a  harmonica and to omit the Hohner name from 
the harmonica  itself.

According to this link I found on ebay, it's  a Hohner  product.

I  think, perhaps, the key here is that the words "The Original" appear to 
actually  be an integral part of the name.
Just a  guess.
