it is unlikely that anyone can use little numbers like this to help with dating pianos. Somewhere inside there will be a number in thousands, or perhaps tens of thousands. No precise dates are published, but I may be able to estimate it. Photos would help, can you upload some images of the whole piano here, or email them to me?

If your tuner has a look at the rear of the action, the action makers' name and number may be there. and I may be able to date this.
