nkgibbs Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Dear C.netters, This offering on eBay is claimed to be a Lachenal......what do you think? Regards, Neil PS Apologies, my woodchuck changed 'Lachenal' in the title of this post to "Lacunal' and I can't find a way to change it.

nicx66 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I am going with Tidder on this one simply based on the template for the fret work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkgibbs Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Thanks Nicx66, With your lead, I now see that there have been a couple of C.net post with photos of a very similar fretwork design, albeit in a 30b version, that has been attributed to Tidder: http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=12911 http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2592&page=2 Neil Edited August 9, 2016 by nkgibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick McMahon Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yes, a Lachenal would have had the reed trade mark on the palm rest, and possibly steel reeds stamped on it too. And the buttons are fatter than Lachenal's (which I would like) and seem to be a tighter fit, which hints at the George Jones influence. I see the seller has withdrawn it. I see he's in Stoke on Trent. Maybe he sold it to Chris Algar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Yes, a Lachenal would have had the reed trade mark on the palm rest, and possibly steel reeds stamped on it too. If my memory serves, early Lachenals didn't have reed trademark on the palm rest. Can anyone give me the exact year of the first trade mark ? edited: I came across the answer http://www.concertina.com/chambers/lachenal-production/index.htm 2. Anglo System Without trade mark = 1862–1879 With trade mark = 1879–1933 Edited August 9, 2016 by Takayuki YAGI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
