I'd say it's a Zender with a cast iron frame :lol:
Sorry, I couldn't resist! :)

The 3 photos are all the same I think.

Are you looking to buy it?
Have you bought it?
Are you looking to sell it?
Value it for insurance?

Tell us more, we'll be happy to help

That number doesn't look long enough to be a serial number. Have another look inside, take the front panel off and look for a number with more digits.

If it was in my shop it would be priced about £500 - £600
If it was in Forsyth's it would be price about £900 - £1200
If it was bought from a private seller it would be about £500 - £700
If it was sold on ebay for £1 no reserve it would probably fetch about £250 - £350

However, all of the above means nothing until you've had it professionally inspected and valued by a piano technician. That should be your next step.

I hope that helps a little

They were supplied by Sydney Zender and his gorgeous daughter.
Nice little pianos and reliable.

Any fool can make a piano-- it needs a tuner to put the music in it
