Hi Geoff

Yes this concertina now lives in Victoria with one very happy owner.

Richard Evans looked at this concertina and said it was the best english concertina he had ever seen , played or heard

All the talk of the Wheatstone labels is probably a red herring, I have three Eaolas with tortoiseshell ends from three years in the 1920's with this style and the fourth one has the Lozenge style. I think the person making these boxes used what they at the time.

Regards.

I'd like to see your Torts, too! I own three tort Aeolas: an extended treble, a TT and a special BT, which Mr Chiddley of Wheatstone had made for himself;-)
