How old are these pianos?

One of the pianos is a Knight and has the serial number 32801 stamped on the metal frame, however it also has this number, 1371 printed on a little disk, which is fixed to the inside of the cabinet.

The other is by the makers John Brinsmead & Sons and has the number 86447 stamped on the frame and again another number on a little disk fixed to the inside of the cabinet, this number is 1272. This piano also has the following mark (G&SPH 2984) on the back of the piano, I assume this must relate to the cabinet.

If any one can shed any light on when these were made I would be really grateful,

Many thanks

Adam

Sorry I forgot to mention if any one can give me any model number that these pianos may be, eg K10 etc. for a Knight piano, I can not find this information on them. Thank you

The Knight number suggests 1962, we have no way of guessing the model. The Brinsmead number suggests 1959. "G&SPH 2984" is probably a stock number for a retailer "G&SPH", we don't know who. See the Datemarks, Numbers and Report links at pianogen.org

Could you tell me how much a knight piano of this date is worth. The knight piano I am looking at is in perfect working order and has been regularly tuned every six months. The only problem is that the cabinet finish has seen some ware and there is a chip in the top lid.

Many thanks

Adam
