Hello, I have a Lachenal and Co Concertina handed down to me by my late grandfather.

I was wondering if anyone might know the approx date it was produced by the serial number on the end of the instrument.

It has steel reeds and comes with original box. The serial number is 174866.

Thanks Wes. It’s wooden ends, 10 ivory buttons on the serial number side and 11 ivory buttons, (1 button on its own) on the Lachenal brand side. Hope this helps

Hey @Kerry Mac, There's an opportunity to meet a bunch of knowledgable, and enthusiastic, concertina people this coming weekend in Yackandandah.

It's only $30 for the whole weekend.

For if you're interested. Will be my first time going as I only got my first concertina late last year.

Cheers

Duncan

Wes didn’t mean THIS thread. He meant the thread that is linked by the underlined words “this thread” in his post. Click them, find your way to the bottom of the last page and post your information there.
