No dates of serial numbers are published for this name. If this is the New York Steinmeyer, I haven't a clue. If it's a german one, Steinmeyer piano #7,161 was thought to have been made around 1920, based on Kohler action numbers. This was definitely a german- made instrument, with the typical double touchrail. Then again, it might be a SteinmAyer!

Old uprights usually have two pedals, and are often black. The touchrail is a wooden rail below the back ends of the keys, a double touchrail means there is one above the back ends of the keys as well, to limit the distance the keys can move. Have you checked out pianogen.org for clues yet?
