William Lea's firm became "Ltd." around 1905, and the firm disappears from my lists around 1930. Dates of numbers are not available for this firm. See

Hello!
Thank you for your answer. Now, I know that my piano is 75-100 years old.

I found this on its metal frame:

.....B
2....I....4
.....A

Does it give more precisions?

Thank you!!!!

Magda

The frame markings I have on file include various forms of 214 encircled from about 1928, but the 1928 has an A as well, so that's probably a rough date, one of his later pianos. Who really made it will probably remain a mystery. See
