Jeffries serial numbers.

Jeffries concertinas are the most prized of the Anglo tradition — and they have no serial numbers at all. Dating comes from the maker’s label: the workshop address changed over time (102 Praed Street → 23 Praed Street → 12 Aldershot Road), bracketing the instrument’s era.

Frequently asked
Does this archive date Jeffries instruments?

Jeffries instruments carry no serial numbers. Dating relies on label addresses and batch marks.

Where is the serial number on a Jeffries instrument?

The exact spot varies by era and instrument type — the serial number guide walks through the common locations.

What if my Jeffries serial number is not found?

Recheck the characters exactly as marked, including any letters and leading zeros. Letter-prefixed numbers often belong to student or non-domestic lines that cannot be dated from the number. Some production periods may simply not be covered yet.
