I have already answered this question from your email to me. Nobody has precise dates for minipiano numbers like this, and my best guess is 1943. However, most pianos have several numbers inside, can you find any others?

Bill
Were there really some pianos built during the war?
I've already reported that it seems as all the piano technicians were recruited into fine woodworking on aircraft Radlett seemed to be the place.
The old boys at Monington and Westons were I know.
Some aircraft parts were made in Kentish Town in the factories.
Sorry if I keep repeating this tale.---getting old.
Our mission in life is to tune customers--not pianos.

Any fool can make a piano-- it needs a tuner to put the music in it

Brasteds don't have any useful archive material now, and I did say it was a guess!
