I'm appraising a James Smith & Sons piano and cannot find any information on this manufacturer.

Also need to date this piano. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

If you mean James Smith & Son, Liverpool, they were at 74 & 76 Lord Street from at least the 1880s to the 1930s, so without technical details of the piano, no date can be estimated. See

Thank you. Haven't found out anything else yet but I'll let you know if I do.

If the article on datemarks didn't help, email me some interior photos, I may be able to tell a little.
