Spencer Upright Piano

[brian2007]

Hello, I have inherited a Spencer Upright Piano, the only number that appears to be a serial number is 2I711, which is located in the lower part of the piano.
Would it be possible to eatablish the age of the piano. Thankyou.

Brian

explains that dating a piano purely on the basis of numbers is often not as simple as it seems, but with Spencers, you can usually open the top and see the serial number there, often with a model number too.
21711 suggests that it was made in 1893.
