Stephen Selby Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) I have a German concertina by Meinel und Herold manufactured in 1935. It is in mint condition in its original wrapping. It has a very high quality walnut burl veneer; but I think that it must be some sort of plastic. Too good to be true. When was the first plastic wood veneer substitute used industrially?

Wolf Molkentin Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I have no information re the point of introducing this kind of veneer, but here's a current example of "burl" celluloid as applied by the maker "Weltmeister": Hope this helps Best wishes - Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
