One both ends, chased into the fretworkcan be read "Connor Maker". There is no serial number externally, but it has number 2 internally. I understand it was made in about 1995. It is in good condition, all notes play smoothly, and it is is in concert pitch. It has steel reeds, in aluminium frames.It has its original box, but the hinges are bent
It is an English concertina, which means that it produces the same note when a key is pressed, regardless of whether the bellows are going in or out. The other main type of concertina is the Anglo, which gives different notes according to bellows direction, like a mouth organ does.
John Connor worked in the Crabb factory until it closed and then set up on his own. he is better known for making Anglos than English.
