Camp & Co, NY #10705

Post by camcam »

Hi Barrie,
Excellent site!!
I've acquired an upright Camp & Co, NY piano. There is a tuner's mark form 1939, so I'm assuming it's a late '30s piano. Reading some of the numbers previously listed on the site, what is the method behind the numbering system?
1. Can you tell me when 10705 was manufactured?
2. Any idea how may units were manufactured during the year in question?
3. I'm guessing Camp & Co also manufactured in the UK?
4. This piano is a Player model. I'm missing the bellows. Any idea where I can get parts in the USA?

Thank you.

I have no knowledge of any Camp pianos this side of the ocean. A player piano technician would advise you about the bellows. There is no system to the numbers, we simply refer to one of the various "Piano Atlsases" for a list of dates, this one suggests 1885. Have a look at the Numbers page at www.pianogen.org
