Is it possible to clean bone buttons , I read some where that you could use bleach.
has any one tried this method?

No Stephen they are not original I had them done to match the Lachenal tunings of my other two Anglos ,Good luck,Bazza

Thank you Goran for the info,I have just discovered another number on the side of the instrument it is stamped on the side and differs from the number inside ,the number is 3020 ,its in remarkable condition ,Colin Dipper thinks it has only been played for a about five years in all that time the buttons are still sharp on the edgeswith hardly any wear the leather is deep green and the bellows papers are litho printed so I would think original,anyone have knowledge of Bellows papers?
Many thanks Bazza

Lachenal Anglo No132397 Bb/F metal ended ,steel reeds,Strange fingering 17 buttons and Bb drone on the left side 14 buttons and air button on the right,the buttons on the left are top row 5 middle 6 bottom 6 the rows on the right side are 3 top row 5 middle and 6 on the bottom row also the end cover underneath the metal end is thinner than the righr side it was also in a strange tuning I have the notes of the old tuning if you want the them.There was a peice of newspaper inside which Andrew Norman fished out when he was repairing it which had a date of 1890s on it which makes it earlier than the date by numbering system
