Thanks for the information about the gilt tooling and the lovely paperwork on the bellows.

Hi,sorry about the duplicate posting,happened by accident while trying to download more photographs, I am living in Ireland. Frank

This is a very nice English Lachenal,#32243 made around 1891 (if my calculation is correct!!) It has steel reeds,metal keys, wooden ends,5 folds, valves and pads are fine,tuned to 440 has attractive features plus a lively sound. I got this years ago as a trade for an accordion.The bellows are near perfect and it is a Treble Lachenal.In Ireland. You may contact me at my email address for pictures etc.

HI, I agree with you re concertina case, Apart from shape and size the hinged top comes apart after a short time.
