Jeffries 39

[mturc]

Well the day of dread approacheth....

 

I really expected this concertina to be part of my estate, and there are specific directions in my will as to its disposition. But I must sell my Jeffries to raise funds for the tax man.

 

It is a metal ended 39 button (metal) C/G, "C. Jeffries Maker" made in 1893. How do I know the date? It is written inside, along with a signature.

 

I bought this concertina from Paul Davies about 15-16 years ago. I have our correspondence, with I will include with the concertina, along with the case he gave me.

 

The concertina is in good playable condition. The bellows are original, I believe. I always felt that this concertina should be kept as original as possible. It has been retuned to A-440, but most of the pads, springs, and valves are original, I think. Consequently it plays "looser" than some folks care for, but I like it just fine.

 

I haven't played much in the last few years, and I need the money, so we must part ways. But if I hit Lotto South before the concertina is shipped, the deal is off.

 

I will have pictures anon and the concertina can be seen alive and in person in Atlanta.

 

$6060 plus insured shipping

I also have a Tedrow C/G eight sided Anglo and a Jones C/G that I will be selling shortly (sigh).

Looks like the Tedrow is now sold. Thanks for all the interest in both the Jeffries and the Tedrow. When I get the Jones playing well I'll post it here.
