I have just acquired a Lachenal English concertina no 32281. It is a 48 button Tutor model (coloured and labelled buttons) with wooden ends and brass reeds.
From what has gone before, I am assuming a date of mid 1890's, but rather confusingly there is the following written inside:-
"To J Hutcher, South Africa. 5.3.03. Palmers Music Store, Kettering, England"
Any more information would be appreciated.
