Robert Harley was inspired to value his antique after watching BBC's Flog It!
As Robert Harley watched the programme, he realised he had a similar item to the Wheatstone musical instrument, that had just sold for just under £1,000, in the loft of his Partick home, reports Glasgow Live.
"I remembered that I had a similar one in the loft which had been lying up there for at least 20 years. “The auctioneers put an estimate of £800 to £1200 and added to their next musical instrument auction where it sold for £1900 once fees etc had been taken off I got £1511.80. Robert said: “Maggie’s and Cancer Support Scotland have helped me on my cancer journey and I thought it would be nice if they could benefit from the sale of the concertina which had been lying in the loft gathering dust.
