B.Squire and Son piano

Post by Libby1915 »

I would like to learn about the age of my B.Squire and Son piano.

What looks to be a serial number inside is 21698.

Any idea when manufactured?

Any info would be helpful.

These Squire numbers are not entirely reliable for dating purposes, but it could be around 1902. If you could upload some images here, or email them to me, I may be able to tell you if that date is likely.

Have a look at...

Any further clues will be hidden inside the piano.

The following link will largely describe this piano, but the style of legs on this individual is typical of the period in and around the 1870s, and my estimate of this piano is 1867, but no precise records exist.
