Lot 271

An Edwardian hexagonal musical concertina, in square case.

Seems to be one-and-a-half concertinas here!!

I see they describe it as a "musical concertina"!!

I do find posts like this challenging. A link to an auction house website, a lot number and a sale date. Go to website, enter lot number into search window, nothing. Go to sale date page, enter lot number, I get an error.

 

If you got as far as finding the lot including photos why can't you post a link straight to the sale item?

 

Given that the pictures show the left hand end of an instrument with ebony or ebonised ends and an entire 48 button English with dark brown (possibly Mahogany) ends I'm not quite sure what's for sale here.

 

I think I'd walk away from this unless it sells for silly cheap!

Addenum.

 

Large turned brass screws on the thumb straps of the 'mahogany' ended 'tina say clearly to me 'not Wheatstone'

 

At one time I would have said 'Lachenal' without a doubt but these days I work on fact alone. I'll stick with 'not Wheatstone'!

Still no excuse for not posting the full link with the announcement; it's not only common sense, it's common courtesy.
