System Concertina

F C Nickolds - English 48-key System Concertina Hand Accordion In C Wheatstone Case

'System' Concertina

An antique English 48-key ‘System’ concertina in fitted case bearing retail label for C Wheatstone and Co. Having referred to the Concertina Museum, the maker of the concertina is believed to be F C Nickolds (formerly of C Wheatstone and Co.) - the fretwork design on the casing is seemingly different to Wheatstone's style.
The concertina is generally in good condition with wear and patina as conducive through age and use. Very fine cracks present to veneer, spots of degrading to leather bellows and some of the screws on the casing are lacking washers. Age related wear and tear to case to include broken handle.

What our customers say

It is always a challenge to sell one’s treasures belongings, but PM Antiques offered me good financial value, and completely took the stress out of the situation.

Lorraine

PM Antiques & Collectables offered a realistic and reasonable amount for my collectable, as compared with the unknown outcome of an auction and the associated fees and expenses, and the process was professional throughout and very speedy.
