John Moran Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hello I am selling a 30-button C/G Wheatstone concertina serial number 31827 (the ledger has the year of manufacture down as 1928). This concertina has recently been fettled by Steve Dickinson. Am looking for €4,800. I am based in Dublin, Ireland. Please pm me for more information if you are interested.

David Levine Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 This is a lovely instrument. It was great player when I owned it a few years ago and since then I am sure that it has been made even better by Steve Dickinson. The seller is a gentleman and is himself a fine musician. I would trust him without question. This instrument was made in the best period of manufacture of Wheatstone concertinas. I originally paid over $5,000 for the concertina and sold it for about what I had into it. I doubt very much that the seller is making a profit on the sale.

alex_holden Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I wonder why they riveted a blank metal oval to the right hand end over where the maker's label usually goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Wooff Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I wonder why they riveted a blank metal oval to the right hand end over where the maker's label usually goes? This is ( or was) a 'printed' metal badge that has worn blank over time... or perhaps polished out . Sometimes the stamped ( Best Metal) badges get polished smooth after re-plating which is a great shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
