Comments

This is another early Louis Lachenal Anglo concertina made around 1864 with similar features as #1950, namely fretworking which is restricted to the edge of the ends leaving a blank centre, combined with numbered buttons and wood screws (some of which are missing) rather than end bolts. This concertina will need some restorative work but offers the chance to own an early Lachenal Anglo.
