Hi Guys, I recently discovered, (Aug. '03), that my concertina was made by, George Case, of Boosey & xxxx, c. 1860, and I am delighted :-) When I bought this in 1988, for £75, it didn't have any maker's name plate on it and it had me
baffled for years. Then I was was able to solve this identification problem with the help of photographs that I found
on
Paul Hardy's George Case Concertina website. The giveaway was the pattern of the tracery on the end plate, it is very similar to mine. - Thanks Paul :-)
So I decided that I must also show some photographs of mine to help anyone else who has a concertina identification problem.

I hope you find these photographs as useful as I found Paul Hardy's. I will almost certainly continue to restore the concertina even though it is acceptably playable, and hope to add some more and better pictures in due course.
