Hobart M. Cable Co.

Post by nick »

We have a Hobart M. Cable Co. piano. The plate on the front reads; "Hobart M. Cable Co.
-Chicago-
Cabinet Grand"

The only number I can find inside is; 20381.

Could you please tell how old my piano is and an estimated value?

Thanks

Age: 20381 = c1907

Value:
In the UK most shops would ask you for some money to take it away about 80 pounds because of the cost of dumping pianos charged by LAs that of course may be completely different in the US

As to value get it tuned and the tuner will tell you

I do not plan on putting money into it for a tune as we plan on selling it. Do you know how much it would be worth to sell.

No

I live in the UK you like in the US it is like me asking you how much is my Ford car worth that is sat in our drive – Price depend on Make , condition and most of all local market forces pianos sell better when they are in tune.
