allan Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I have just acquired a Lachenal English concertina no 32281. It is a 48 button Tutor model (coloured and labelled buttons) with wooden ends and brass reeds. From what has gone before, I am assuming a date of mid 1890's, but rather confusingly there is the following written inside:- "To J Hutcher, South Africa. 5.3.03. Palmers Music Store, Kettering, England" Any more information would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Acott Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Hello Wes, I have just looked on the LH end box and the owners name was John Reid from Skipton with the date of July 1900 price £5 5s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes williams Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Thanks Mike, That shows that our estimates are fairly near in this region. The instrument could have been purchased from a dealer in the local area, and might have been sold to the owner a bit later than our estimate. But the details will be added to our database and taken into consideration next time we update our estimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hersh Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Is this a very early Lachenal Anglo-German? Number is 3156. Currently on eBay at https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134343919281 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takayuki YAGI Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) I once saw 1428, 5042, 5131 and 7435 on eBay and Barleycorn. All of them had numbered keys and simpler fretwork. And 109854 and 148802 with (slightly different) Butler label. As you think, I too think that on eBay is early Lachenal.
