Where it was Mfg? London
When? The number suggests 1909.

Nobody anywhere can trace the life history of every individual piano.

Was there a standard screw-on emblem on these models?
These were probably sconces (candleholders) - nobody can tell you which type were used on an individual piano. You'll have to look around antique shops, I only found two good pairs in thirty years.

TUNING TIPS?! Get a qualified tuner.

How to change the bridle straps on these models? The usual way.
