Hi Dowright,
Can I take advantage of your extensive knowledge to date my recent English concertina purchase.
serial number 37173, mahogany frets, brass reeds, 48 key, 4 fold bellows. On the material behind the frets the manufacturer label say ‘Lachenal and Co’, but on the labels on the reed carriers, the address is 8 Lit, James St, Grays Inn Rd. WC.
I think she maybe around the turn of the century, or maybe a year or two earlier looking at other examples on here.
she is a bit of a restoration project ?
Cheers
Mike
