Johann Baptist Cramer was a famous musician, who didn't make pianos himself, although his firm did years, after Cramer's death. The number suggests 1912, but it is always unwise to rely purely on serial numbers to date a piano. See

I can quote for printing general information on the very long history of the Cramer firms, or compile a report from photos. See "Reports" at that same link.
