toronto-antiques Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Any information would be appreciated. How old is this concertina and how much is it worth in this condition? It seems to work although a couple of buttons are worn off and the paper on the bellows is worn a bit on the edges. Thank you for your assistance.

Daniel Hersh Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 It's German-made, most likely from the late 1800's. It's not worth restoring as a playing instrument - players want the English-made ones. A collector might want it for the swan decoration. I'd guess $100-$200 US if you can find an interested collector. Any information would be appreciated.

Theo Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 That seems a very high price for an unrestored German concertina. In the Uk similar instruments tend to fetch £20 to £50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
