Daniel Hersh Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 It's at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Old-Antique-30-Buttons-Concertina-No-Reserve-/111803878301 The button layout on the right-hand side makes me think of Jones, but it's not much more than a guess. Pictures of the action would probably help, but none are provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Hersh Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 No one wants to even speculate on the maker?

Myrtle's cook Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Excuse an EC player straying into Anglo territory, but do folks think those ends are original to the rest of the box? To me they resemble copies of Crabb type patterns but look a little heavy handed and are completely flat. Replacements for damaged wooden ends or an attempt in the past to 'enhance' the box?

SteveS Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Could it be a fake Jeffries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it always had metal ends of some sort as the side wooden parts don't appear to be "split"or made in two parts.There seem to be quite a few metal ended concertinas this age without the tops crimped so its probably how it was made.David.

Daniel Hersh Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 Could it be a fake Jeffries? If it were, I think it would have a Jeffries stamp on it. Shakespeare, perhaps (if my initial Jones guess isn't right)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hersh Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Someone paid GBP 1,381.00 (approximately US $2,132) for it, whatever it is.
