Roger Hare Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I have just acquired a rather nice Lachenal 20-button C/G Anglo, serial No. 67698. The label on the right hand end reads: Manufactured for Beale & Son 34 Rathbone Place Oxford St. W. Now, I tracked down information about: Cramer, Addison & Beale, 210 Regent st Cramer, Beale & Chappell, ditto Cramer, Beale & Wood, ditto but I failed to find anything about Beale & Son. Can any of you knowledgeable folks out there supply any information? Incidentally, the box that came with it has a label for: J. J. Vickers & Sons Ltd., 80 & 82 Royal Hill, Greenwich, London SE10 so I guess the box is from a different 'tina... Thanks. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-examination of the label - this time with a bright light and a magnifying glass reveals that it is indeed Beare, not Beale. Problem solved.

Vickers were dealers and repairers (established 1887, & Sons from c.1925) carrying on until the 1950s. So the box might be original.
