Sure you do Stephen!

Thanks guys I have been in contact with the button box and I am awaiting a call back from Jim (might have the name wrong) he’s away till the 9th I was going to list my concertina on Ebay next week and see what happens As for keeping grandpas concertina I am! Just not the Wheatstone 31987 I will be restoring his back up I believe it’s a Wheatstone as well but maybe you guys will help with that J This is the one as kids my two sibling’s and myself played with and by the condition its in we must have had a heck of a time with it but I’m sure the Button box will be able to restore it

First off I would like to thank Jody for taking my call and then inviting me into his home where he gave me a history lesson on the concertina. Although he says he doesn’t play this kind of concertina I would have never known As Jody said in his post I have decided to sell my grandfathers concertina. Anyone interested can send me an email windowsl580@yahoo.com Again thank you Jody Steve

I just refound a Concertina that was given to me by my grandmother in 1975 It’s a Wheatstone # 31987 that has been sitting in its case since my grandfathers passing. It looks to be in good condition with all its keys but it has been sitting for 32years in its original box. We have done some research and believe it was made in Oct of 1928 I have enclosed some photos and was hoping someone might be able to put a value on it (I’m not interested in selling it) but would love to pass it down to my kids. I’m sure after all the years just sitting it must need something done and would like to restore it to it’s former glory just not sure where to bring it Thanks for any help you can give me
