Rock Chidley Nr 1937

[luiazazrambo]

Hi Concertina People,

 

In a heated moment I bought a concertina hoping that I can earn some money with it and spend it on watchmaker tools, but I am a little bit worried now that I paid too much for it. I thought that this is the only one old concertina all around the world, this webpage ruined all of my dreams!  😂 Could someone please help me to give me a rough valuation of my Rock Chidley Nr 1937 concertina? 

 

Best regards,

Lui

Can't give you a value but they were beginner instruments and not worth a whole lot today. Here is some history: https://www.scatesconcertinas.com/pdf/ROCK CHIDLEY Concertina Maker.pdf

Thank you for the comment. So what about my plans buying expensive watchmaker tools? 😄 If anyone interested send me an offer please.

I thought Rock Chidley? what is it  ...it was a rock group?

Looks very interesting little thing, in one of those curious hexagonal boxes [ which can be awkward to remove them].

about time you took up English concertina, Simon!
