Rhythm Lackey Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I have a Jones 26-button C/G Anglo and I am trying to figure out how to find it's serial number. The only identifying charactreristics are the oval inset which refers to 300 Commercial Rd. which I take it identifies it as having been built after 1874 when the addresses were renumbered. Where can I locate the serial number, if any? Rhythm Lackey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 My Jones 26 button G/D (probably Ab/Eb originally) has no serial number. DId Jones concertinas actually have serial numbers, as a general rule? Chrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Digby Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 A 33key bone-buttoned Jones Anglo (C/G, five-fold bellows, Commercial Rd.) came up for sale in Chelmsford a couple of weeks ago. The serial no. was on the woodwork inside and I asked Wes Williams for an estimated date. He reckons it was made around 1890/1900; he has a small section on Jones in his 'dating' article on this site. Best wishes, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
