Long Haired David Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) I know that it isn't an exact science but it is interesting to have a guide, if possible. I have just exchanged my 20 button Lachenal (serial 74298) for a nice 30 button Lachenal from Barleycorn Concertinas. Buried on the inside is a stamp with 124088. Can anyone give me a clue as to the age of this one? David Edited November 7, 2018 by Long Haired David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowright Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Made circa 1892. Wood or metal fretwork? Bone or metal buttons? Steel or brass reeds? 5- fold or 6-fold Bellows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Haired David Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Wood fretwork, bone buttons, steel reeds - not sure of original count but now has 6 fold bellows. I understand that is standard for Chris Algar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 and the ends are apparently made of Mahogany... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Haired David Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 As you say. Nicely polished to look a bit like rosewood, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 yes - I was reminded of the expression „rosewood-stained“ which has occurred in some concer adds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
