Dating a Rock Chidley English

[danersen]

Hello,

 

An interesting piece has crossed my path and I'm seeking more information about it.

 

Might anyone have any expertise or information in addition to the articles by Wes Williams here about dating a Rock Chidley English?

 

The serial number is: 3862

 

The label reads:

 

Factory Hollingworth

St James RP Holloway

Rock Chidley

Manufactured

London

135 High Holborn

 

Might anyone be willing to opine - generally, knowledgeably, or speculatively - as to the merits and demerits of a Rock Chidley concertina?

 

My search for previous content about this here in the forums produced little content. I may not have performed the search properly, so if there is an existing thread/s about this, please point me in the proper direction.

 

Any and all assistance/suggestions and comments are welcome and appreciated.

 

Be Well,

Dan

Hi Dan,

The Chidley data here is very out of date, and has been updated elsewhere. You are looking at 1850-1868 as the date range for a Rock Chidley, and probably somewhere near the middle for a concertina with this number.
