Expertly restored English Concertina from Lachenal & Company, who were the largest producers of the instrument in the 19th century. This example conforms to the firm's "Excelsior" model, originally selling for £13 in the 1890 catalog, "very best quality", featuring a carved ebony box, with 48 double-action, silver-tip keys, in a more recently made hard shell case; new leather bellows in fantastic shape, restored by Squeezebox Garage; label has slipped beneath cover.
