Hello team and thanks for such a great website. I am hoping you can date my 20 button Anglo which I inherited indirectly from my great uncle. I am guessing it was bought in or near Bradford.
It looks very similar to the images I found online of Paul Hardy A#2 instrument number 167221 which he dates to 1899.
The only difference I can see is in the fretwork, which appears a little more elaborate on my instrument.
Details are 20 button in bone, 5 fold bellows, steel reeds, wood ends. The number is 166871
It was restored about 20 years ago by Pierre Hooft in Adelaide, South Australia. He did a lovely job. RIP.
Thanks for your thoughts.
