First, could you go back and check the spelling of the name please? Nobody anyone can trace the history of every individual piano, and very few of the original archives survive. For most names, no dates of serial numbers are published.

The number suggests about 1914, but no original archives are available to trace the history of the individual piano. I can quote for printing general history of the firm through www.PianoGen.org
