Paul Read Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) This pretty thing has just sold on ebay. They were confused as to the make. I thought it was a Wheatstone but now I'm thinking it is probably a George Case. Over to you guys (Stephen?)

Over to you guys (Stephen?)<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry Paul, but it looks like one of those 1850's/'60's instruments that you couldn't easily put a maker to. It certainly isn't either a Lachenal, Wheatstone or Nickolds, and I doubt if it is a Case (they usually have three different serial numbers on them for one thing), but as for what it is ... I dunno' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Read Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 I guess this raises the question of bellows papers. I've always thought that the old makers each had their own pattern of papers. I have seen Wheatstones with papers that I would have thought were Lachenal papaers , however. The papers on this one are quite distinctive. Has anyone ever studied this?
