It has been said that old (antique?) clock springs can be a suitable source of material for Concertina reeds but I have no experience whatsoever in the matter.

I tried clock springs steel but it is too soft (from my experience)

[Lachenal Duet On Ebay: Strange Serial Number]

This concertina on ebay http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...me=STRK:MEWA:IT

 

is given with the number 8875

 

If we look at different formulas to calculate the date of fabrication we found between 1953 and 1969

 

Is it possible that this number is OK?
