Hilton & Hilton
Hello - I have a piano I am looking to sell but would like to know a little more about it. It's a Hilton & Hilton Gold Medal - very ornate looking upright piano. There is a number on the inside 10 471. Can you assist please or point me in a good direction for finding a fair price? Many Thanks.

Re: Hilton & Hilton
This is a history forum, nobody anywhere can guess the value or condition of a piano without inspecting it and tuning it.
Hilton & Hilton were making pianos in Leeds from at least the 1880s to the 1920s.
The number suggests that it was made in the 1890s. Many of them are dated on the key of the bottom note, see

Hi Bill,
I did try to post a photo but it was too big. I will email you and perhaps if you can reply I can then email you some photos from my account. Thanks for your help.
