Peter Smith Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I think lot 220 is a 26 button with rosewood ends. I wonder who this collection of concertinas and melodeons belong to. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyConcertina Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Thank you! Do you know who purchased them? Did you find out what keys they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Smith Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I asked about the Connor & Jeffries before the auction & got some additional pictures. They did not know what key the concertinas were in & I didn't try to explain how to find out! They looked like a well cared-for set of concertinas, all boxed and in good condition. I was after the Connor & should have pushed the bidding a bit further- but there we go. No idea who purchased them but would expect most to appear for sale again! In my view, the prices seemed fair though the Jeffries was possibly a bit high, given the state of the ends. Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
