Vern Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I acquired this instrument as a reconditioned one from the company in the early 70's. Still in good condition but not played for around 20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saguaro_squeezer Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hi Vern, I have 8837 (1907) and used to have 9987 (1941). 9442 is obviously in between those dates. Maybe early 30s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkwright Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hi Saguaro, I have 8835 -- I thought that was from 1908, not sure. It is a 30 button anglo in C/G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saguaro_squeezer Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hi Arkwright, I’d checked with Geoff Crabb and my 8837 is from 1907. It’s a 57b Crane. Interesting (to me anyway) that the reeds are laid out like an Anglo instead of around the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vern Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 My #9442 is also a 30 button Anglo C/G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little John Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I have #9155 (48 button Crane) which Geoff told me was 1934. LJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I had No.9414 which Geoffrey Crabb told me was from the period 1935-38. A more exact date could not be given because of missing records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDF Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I have 9008 Geoff kindly told me it was made by H T Crabb in 1927. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vern Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Thanks to you all. Very helpful. The safest assumption I can make is that #9442 falls in the 1935-38 period where there are missing records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Crabb Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi all, unfortunately I am in the Royal Brompton Hospital London awaiting heart surgery so am unable to access the number/date records. This situation will, if resolved, hopefully see me eventually back and active among the concertina community. Geoff Crabb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
