Info on date of Lachenal

[symjockey]

Hi.  I have a Lachenal concertina. Model unknown.  The serial number is 85868.  There are 10 buttons on each side plus an extra button on one side.  Please can you give an approximate date for this instrument?

don't have the requested information - in the meantime: your instrument is a 20b Anglo concertina, most likely in C/G.

 

best wishes - ?

Thanks for the help Wolf.  At least I now know what it is.

Symjockey,

No 85868 was made circa 1885.
