Ebay Teaser

This sad little item:

http://cgi.ebay.com/circa-1865-E-Myers-of-...1QQcmdZViewItem

 

The buyer states: "Entries from 1869 to 1884 give Emanuel Myers at 27 Walworth rd SE, and instruments bearing this label are reported as being made by George Jones." and "As my source states, concertinas in this age bracket (1869-1884) were most likely made by George Jones."

hmm................any comments?
