Alan Day Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I purchased yesterday a gold concertina charm.I have never seen one like it.The usual charms are silver and open up ,sometimes to reveal a little concertina player, or being empty.The one I have is solid and clearly shows the buttons bellows etc.A perfect replica.I just wondered if anyone else has come across one..Sadly it may be too small to send a clear photo from my camera.I will have a go.

Tony Elphick Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hi Alan. Was it one like this? Jim Pitts, the great Crawley musician and sculptor made a few of these. He played with us in the Bonabrill Band for 30 odd years up to his death, and did several concertna things which he copiedfrom my Jeffries.

Rod Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Delightful, and presumably a Jim Pitts of Crawley original which never strayed far from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Elphick Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Think this may do it? It's different from your one, and he's got quite a bit of end detail on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Crabb Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 And another Alan, bought for my wife 46+ years ago. 8 mm across the flats. 12 mm end to end. 8 fold bellows. Geoffrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Elphick Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 My one is only 6mm across the flats, measures 17mm end-to-end (but 6 fold bellows are slightly open) and is 30 keys plus air button! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I have a pin badge which I wear on my Kettle Bridge Clogs waistcoat. I've tried taking a few photos but I found it hard to get the zoom/focus setting accurately. It is 20mm long and 10mm across the flats. This was a gift some years ago. I believe it is pewter sprayed with a gold colouring. I hope these images are clear enough to see. edited to correct bad typing!
