Wrongly described "J.Vickers and Sons Anglo Concertina with Hardcase 33 Key Working Vintage" - sold on eBay tonight

[Stephen Chambers]

I hope nobody has got caught out by this auction on eBay tonight, because the button layout says it's a 39-key (starter) Maccann duet, not a 33-key Anglo, and it sold for £424.00.

 

I did inform the seller last week (before going away to the Feakle Festival over the weekend) that it was incorrectly described, and was assured that they would deal with it - only they didn't...

[Bill Crossland]

I contacted them when they listed it incorrectly - they were going to pass this on the their "technical team" to sort......

I noticed the makers stamp at the top say Lachenal, where does the J Vickers part come into it?

[Nigel Champion]

J Vickers were instrument dealers and often re-badged the merchandise with their own name.  It can be seen on the label inside the case.

The ad now says Anglo.

Yes, that's the problem.
