1923 Wheatstone Concertina

[Johnny Prime]

I have a Wheatstone Concertina Aeola. 1923. 62 buttons. Metal ends. Needs serviced and tuned but in good condition. Does anyone know how much it might be worth? Thank you. I will attempt to attach a photo.

Well it's not an Aeola, they are 8-sided.  But it is Whetatstones next best model after the Aeola.  Value depends on. condition and you say it needs work, I can also what appears to a the result of a blow that has  pushed in the the metalwork slightly towards the top of the picture.   It's is one of Wheatstones best so it's a valuable concertina.

Can you post the serial number too.  That will help in identifying the particular range of this 'tina.

Any idea as to value?

What is the difference between a 12a and 22? Is it the same but a TT vs a treble?

A 12a is a 64-key tenor-treble, a 22 is a 48-key treble.
