Not sure how old & who made it

First posting had wrong pictures

The trade mark on the hand bar identifies this as a Lachenal product. In theory it could have been made any time after 1878 (when the trade mark was registered) and before the mid 1930s when Lachenal went out of business. There should be a serial number marked in several internally which would narrow down the date a bit.

Thank's for your speedy reply. I can see some numbers through the left hand button plate #161765 but I will have to look in to it deeper.

I accidentally put the wrong pics in at first. Mine are not wooden.

So do you have a Maccan duet and a metal ended Anglo, then pictures, but not the actual instrument, of a wooden ended anglo? Or what? I'm confused.

 

Have you inherited a pile of the things?

HI you can always go back and edit your original posts so that we don't get confused (I'm confused :-) )

Me too!

 

Romce,

 

You've posted pics of three different concertinas so far, and people have tried to answer you - but we're getting mystified which one you're asking about?
