Vose & Sons

[Bill Kibby]

Unless you mean Vose & Sons, I have no idea about the name, and with no clue about the town or country of origina, it would involve searching through over a million entries.

I still don't know if this enquiry was about Vose, but it's interesting to hear from you. Do you have any catalogues or dated illustrations of their pianos? The dates of Vose numbers are published, but it would be interesting to know if your records show the same dates. See http://www.uk-piano.org/piano-gen/archives.html

Wrong side of the ocean, we can only look up dates of serial numbers.

Well, it's a rather old topic, but I am a newbie
and I may have the information.
I got these numbers off the internet about 5 years
ago, and I don't know from where because
the url didn't show at the bottom
of the page, and I was too
new to the internet to know it should

But here is the info I have:
