Vose and Sons Upright Piano

Post by kkadavy »

I am trying to determine the age of my piano. My parents refinished it (it had been stored in a barn) and I played it as a child. It is marked as a Vose Music Desk, patented June 18, 1895. The serial number is 60376. It has markings from the Columbian Exposition, but with your help I know those are just a way to advertise that Vose and Sons exhibited at the expo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

60376 suggests that it was made around 1906, which lines up with it being afterthe 1893 exhibition and the 1895 patent.
