Cable, Chicago

Post by salsero21 »

I just got a piano that was manufactured by The Cable Co. in Chicago. The ser# is 28522. Is there any one out there that can tell me when was this piano manufactured? Or can tell me where can I find this information? Thankyou very much!

Thanks Barrie, I got the ser# wrong. The correct ser# is 285222. I missed the last number "two" on my original message. Can you find the date on this one? It would have been nice to have a piano that was manufactured in 1800s! Thanks a bunch!

Thanks Barrie for your response. A for a 1929 piano, it is in good shape. Where did you get the information, if I may ask. How do I find its value? Thanks!
