Daniel Hersh Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Here's a silly concertina box label I hadn't seen before, from https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Old-World-Concertina-20-Buttons-Squeezebox-CZECHUSLOVAKIAN/323820823176?hash=item4b6539a288 : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I think the „label“ has been individually created by the former owner (a kid most likely) by glueing lots of (silly, if you will) badges and pics onto the original concertina label...

Stephen Selby Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The Zulu design reflects the fact that the concertina 'squashbox' was a Zulu national instrument in colonial days. I had rather wondered whether the image above was racist; but concluded that it represented a real marketing of a Czech product. If you look up 'Zulu concertina', you will find lots of interesting history and recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
