Odd one on eBay Canada - Lachenal (?) with 11 fold bellows

It looks strange. The Lachenal's reedshoe trademark is on the other side. And the ends look handmade. But the action looks like Lachenal's hooked type.

I recognise that concertina from an older thread on here:

It's almost certainly the same one. The original thread generated quite a bit of interest, but I don't think anyone came to a solid conclusion about its origins...

Why so many bellow folds? ( 11) You could use this one for skipping.

Exactly my thoughts, Geoff - maybe it was used for a novelty concertina act?
