with regard to the reeds, in the nouveau prix-courant (1862) cork staples were advertised as new.
as musette were popular before that (c.1830's) then i'd imagine you'd have to use thread lapping instead (where instead of having cork, you bind the end of the staple in loads and loads of the usual reedmaking thread until it's thick enough for the hole).
also as it's a small instrument, surely the reeds will be smaller... worth working out what it should be pitched at. in france, A435 was enforced by the government in 1859 if that helps.
it may not be that old, it could be a replica instrument. also, they were (surprisingly) still sold as new up until the 1930's.
the wood used previous to the 19th century was boxwood. there was a lot of experimentation and then they tried rosewood (probably in this case) and then later grenadilla.
hope some of that is useful...
