C Jones Concertina

[ailbhe85]

Hi,

I have a C Jones concertina that has been recently restored and am hoping to sell it. I was told that after it was restored it would be worth about €2000. I was just hoping to get an opinion on what they sell for usually before I put it up for sale.

This looks like a nice concertina and I suspect that something around $2,000 would be a fair price.

 

It may be a good idea to have photos of the restored inards of the concertina when you are selling. I would also rotate all photos so that the concertina is shown 'upright' ie handstraps below buttons.

 

The maker is probably George Jones (rather than C. Jones)......more information about him can be found here.

 

Regards,

Neil
