Smith, Barnes & Strohber Co., was apparently the mfg company

I have a Willard piano, with the number 117753 inside, and on the left and right upper is the number 1454, any clues to the age ??

Billy, thanks for the info....I was aware the piano wasn't actually at the exposition, just a commemorative model. I appreciate the date given, and am curious as to the possible value, the piano being in bad to poor condition, but basically sound. mechanics all seem quite good, aall the problems are...

I have just acquired a Cable "Columbian Exposition" piece with the #84024. Any help with the date would be appreciated.
