Gibb

Post by Bill Kibby »

John Gibb was a dealer in Glasgow in the late 1800s, and still on his own by 1911. By 1914, the firm was Gibb & Sons, and they seem to have disappeared shortly after 1932. This tells us nothing about your piano, Favorita is just a model name, probably used by Gibb for pianos bought in from an anonymous wholesaler. See
