    RARE Charles C Jeffries Concertina Accordion 20 Button w/ Wood Hard Case
    I don't play this instrument but it seems that the buttons are working.  I believe it's from the late 1800's.  It comes with its original hard wood case that has a felt lining. A very unique and rare piece.  Jeffries is known for making some of the best concertina's and has been very sought after.  The bellows have fading and wear due to age and use.  The wood ends are carved beautifully and seem to be in good condition for their age, there is some wear and surface scratches from being played. It seems work has been done to this concertina so please look at the pictures for details.  I will try to answer any questions but this is not my area of expertise.  Thank you for your consideration!
    Approximate measurements:  Closed- 5.5" L x 6.25"  x 7.5" D  (13.97cm  x  15.8cm  x  19.05cm)
