Laurence Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 http://video.pbs.org/video/2365028417/ Appraiser says, "I use to be able to buy these in London for $15-20" then appraises it for $1500-1700 Owner smiles and says, "that's about $1500 more than I thought it was worth!"

PeterT Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 And Wheatstone patented his concertina in 1929 ..... he must have been VERY old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jggunn Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Despite the fact that it is a post-war concertina, the appraiser badly underestimated the current value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Groff Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hi John and all, I remember seeing this episode years ago, and I think that's the meaning of the two values given at the end -- one for 1998 and one for 2013. PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Thanks for that Paul. I didn't even see that at the very end "2013 - $2500 - $3000" I was just listening to the audio. They should do voice-overs for reruns that old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jggunn Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi, Paul. I didn't notice the year either. Still playing my Lachenal most of the time - the Aeola is too loud and the Crabb is too heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
