Description Very, very old German made (stamped "Made in Germany", not a sticker!....also stamped "Broad Reeds") bought many years ago to restore & along the way we've collected a fair amount of concertina spares, all being sold with this item as per photos. Bellows in good condition, & very decorative (see 2nd photo) this instrument plays one side only at the moment, due to buttons missing on the other side, that side DOES have the reed plate inside. Leather straps both ends (old!) It's in an airtight condition, but needs restoring! Offered with this concertina, is a collection of spares off other old instruments, including 3 reed plates & one broken half reed plate, all double sided, ..........plus 2 x end covers for buttons, plus 2 x valve plates with levers & some pads still in place. Ideal for project/instrument restorer/antique musical instrument collector. Postage & packing UK only, 2nd class recorded is £8 (mailed in box to prevent any damage!) Payment : - My preferred payment method is with Paypal and this is the only accepted method from overseas bidders. I also accept postal order or personal cheque from within the UK but as I expect payment within 5 days please let me know if not using Paypal. If payment or contact not made within 5 days I will consider the deal void, and report the unpaid item to ebay...so please only bid if you intend to honour the contract. HOWEVER, IF you are bidding on more, please let me know, as I'm happy to combine & offer a postal discount. Postage :- All my listings have P&P & handling included so you can calculate the total you will have to pay.  Recorded delivery is now essential, for 75p & it means you have to sign for your parcel. (Sadly, I'm been the victim of chargebacks due to the loss of items via our postal service. The only stressfree way, is to insist on recorded delivery.) Items sent outside the UK are NOT insured unless you take the option of International Signed For Delivery at a cost of £3.50. I always obtain a proof of posting but cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage in transit if this option is not taken at the time of payment.
