Looking For 1950's 30-Button C/g Wheatstone Anglo

It doesn't have to be in mint condition (although that would be nice), but must be in tune, A440, good playing condition, etc. MB, ME, maybe 7F bellows. Case not important. Thanks!

You might contact forum member Ben. He's a nice fellow who often has later Wheatstones, and he's Canadian, which would simplify the transaction. I tried a metal ended Linota of his a few weeks ago that might be just the ticket. It was in very nice shape- 8 fold bellows I think (from South Africa). He's culling the heard in anticipation of some new arrivals

might this be what you have in mind?

C. Wheatstone & Co.

Found one! And no, it's not the one with the snazzy Plexiglas buttons, I'll just have to leave that to some other mid-century modernist fan, but it was very tempting! Thanks to all for the help and suggestions.
